Hi all,

I have 2 networks on by PC, one is a local area network through ethernet card and another is a ADSL broadband connection using USB port. Both have created networks on my PC. Also I can have a static IP on both of them. The boardband connection is through a router at my place, so the router has a public IP and assigns a internal LAN IP to the n/w created on USB port.

I need IE and Firefox to use the broadband connection for internet and Lan s/ws like VyPress Chat and DC++ to use the other LAN connection. But when i have both connections enabled, the internet does not work. Is there any way i can configure this?
I need LAN to download movies/songs whereas broadband for internet.

Thanks for reading the post,
Regards,
Sumit Pilankar

Are you sure you're not making this a LOT more complicated than it has to be?
