jimcampanella Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I just got a new USB internet hookup and it seems to be interfering with my wireless router.A little background:First, I'm have some computer knowledge but mostly in UNIX not XP. Don't be afraid to talk down to me.I have an XP system. It's hooked to a Linksys wireless router. This is a direct hookup through cat-5. The wireless router is used to talk to the other computers on the netwrok and to the printers. I use DHCP on this router.I recently got an AT&T USB Aircard to get highspeed internet to this computer.I can use either the Linksys or the Aircard but not both. When I try the Linksys works fine, but I have no internet access. I think, that when I plug in the Linksys, all my internet traffic goes that way and nothing goes out on the aircard. I was hoping that I can set up routes on the system for the internet and for the network traffic. To tell it to send all my netwrok traffic (right now 192.x.x.x) to the ethernet port, and everything else to the USB. The Linksys is my own private, internal network. So I'm willing to change IP's wherever necessary. I just need help in figuring out how to do it. ThanksjimHere's what I've found with my research: Route with Linksys wireless routerC:\Documents and Settings\one>route print===========================================================================Interface List0x1 ...........................

mtrx Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Can you post log's fromstart>run>cmd >ipconfig /all when both cards are connectectedI think the problem is here0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 166.217.206.144 166.217.206.144 400.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.101 20This lines shows that all trafic to the internet i routed first from 192.168.1.101 because default GW metric is 20 So try to modify the default metric address manualy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 mtrx is correct. Windows will use the default gateway with the lowest metric. You must specify the air card to use a lower metric. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299540This should solve the problem, if not you can setup manual routing via the registry: http://www.petri.co.il/configuring_routing..._pro_xp_pro.htm.
