Traffic will always go out the route that matches the network destination.
For most outbound Internet requests, it will fall under 0.0.0.0 MASK
0.0.0.0. If two routes are able to service the specified destination, it
will go out the route with the lowest metric (cost). Again, I ask for the
output of "route print > c:\RouteOutput.txt" and "ipconfig /all >
c:\IPConfigOutput.txt"
If you're wanting to aggregate your two connections, you're going to need to
either get a lot more intimate with routing tables, or get an aggregation
device...

Subject: [H] aargh - with these Internet connections
Ok, I have 2 nics, 1 connected to DSL and one to cable,, Got rid of one
level of grief by giving each router a different Ethernet range.
DSL 10.0.0.1 and cable 192.168.2.x
So I can use mail accounts by both providers so the computer has access to
both.
HOWEVER when I go to a speed test, the slower (cable) connection is always
accessed, unless I unable that connection.
I went into >>> Network Connections
Advanced
Advanced Settings
And made the DSL Connection the first on the list.
No matter what I try - the first Connection used is the Cox connection.
What am I missing or doing wrong?
