Hey all 🙂

I’m using two Ethernet adapters: one for the internet, and one for the LAN connection with my brothers comp. But the problem is I’m using the internet connection by default. When I try to connect to my brother’s computer using the LAN, it uses the internet adapter instead of the LAN adapter. How do I make Windows know that it has to use the LAN adapter for the local addresses (192.168) and the internet adapter for the other ?

Windows 98 SE. Does it have anything to do with gateways ? What are those actually ?

You probably need to specify which traffic needs to go over which network adapter.

You need to do this with the ‘route’ command.

Could you try typing ‘route print’ in a command line window and post the results?
