Here here is my question, I hope it makes sense.

I have 2 networks on my computer. One is my college lan, the other is my 56k dialup.

The problem arrised in that a game I like to play on the internet does not work over the college network (not sure why, but I think it is traffic shaping).

That isn't the problem though, as the game works just as fine on dial-up, so I use that instead.

But -- I would like to use that game and ONLY that game on the dial-up conenction.
How, or is it possible - that I can set my other programs (instant messenger, Peer-2-peer program named soulseek), to use my college LAN, which I am also connected to?

That way they don't hog my dial up connection. Since when im connected to dial up, everything uses that instead of the LAN.

Thanks in advance for any help :)
