Hi.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any software or a way I can control this.

My computer has 2 ip addresses:

Frist one being an External ADSL connection
Second one is a internal ip 10.10.25.155 that is connected to a router and then to the internet.

My problem is my computer seams to just randomly pick I ip to use to get to the internet. I would like my computer to only use the ADSL connection but IRC always seam to try the 10.10.25.155 one.

And sometimes I open up a broswer and go to say google.ca and it times out , other times it goes there right away like it should.

Any ideas anyone..

Also ADSL is 10mbit connection
Other internet is 100mbit

What are you trying to control? The IP addresses you quote are perfectly normal when connecting via a router.

The 10.10.25.155 IP address is a class A Private Address. It is supplied by your router via DHCP. The two addresses communicate via Network Address Translation (NAT).

10 Mbit is high for ADSL. Are you sure that's correct. 100 Mbit is your LAN speed, not your Internet speed.

Any problems connecting are caused by some other problem than your IP addresses.

Might want to so a route add command on the ip addresses for the internet. On the one you want as a last resort put a higher metric value on it. The system will try to use the lower metric connection first.

Go to a cmd prompt and type route add /? for the syntax. Put it into a batch file so after a reboot you can run it.
