well my problem is i have two nics one wireless and one wired been using my
wired for net useage. well i want to connect to a router and share my media
to a different network. if i use my wireless connection it moves all my net
traffic to it leaving my wired network empty. my wired network is 10mb and
the other wireless network is 1.5mb. i do not want to use the wireless for
internet use at all i just want to share files on it and play lan games
To use the wireless connection for LAN access and the wired connection
for Internet access:
1. Assign a static IP address to the wireless connection. Don't
assign a default gateway address to the wireless connection, since
Windows uses the default gateway to access the Internet.
2. Assign a metric value to each connection, giving the lower value to
the wireless connection:
a. Open the Network Connections folder.
b. Right click the desired connection.
c. Click Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
d. Click Properties > Advanced.
e. Un-check "Automatic metric".
f. Enter a number between 1 and 9999 for the "Interface metric".
