How to make the computer to look for SBRIO on a LAN connection when both LAN and Wireless connections are active

[Mudda]

Hi,

I connected my laptop to a SBRIO using a Cross over cable, I also made the subnet mask the same as the SBRIO and my laptop wireless connection is also active. I am running an application to trasfer files from the network on to the SBRIO. I was able to donwload the files from network using the wireless but when I try to transfer the files from the laptop to the SBRIO the application is trying to use the wireless connection instead of LAN Connection. Is there anyway I can make the application to use the LAN connection instead of wireless?

Thanks,

Mudda.

You need to manually configure the settings for both the SBRIO and the wired NIC on the PC. They should both be on the same subnet. Using the crossover cable you can configure your PC to use an address like 192.168.0.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Configure the SBRIO to use an address like 192.168.0.11 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The PC will use the default network connection for all addresses which do not match the specific subnet of the secondary (wired in your case) NIC.

Thanks mark, That makes lot of sense.
