I have two nic's connected to my PC, connecting to two routers A and B.
How do I specify that all my "Internet" traffic shall go through router A?

Router A is connected to Internet, NEC Aterm Series WR7610HV

Router B is on a local LAN network, Buffalo Nfinity WZR2-G300BN. 802.11n 300 Mbps wifi.

Re: dual nic route Internet though one

Hi
Configure all the TCP/IPs that suppose to go to the Internet with a static
DNS using the Internet Router's Core IP as DNS.
The None Internet TCP/IP should resolve to the second Router.

When more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the
one with the lowest metric value. By default, it automatically
assigns a metric value based on the network connection's rated speed:

An explanation of the Automatic Metric feature for Internet Protocol
routes
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=299540

To force Windows to use a specific network connection, assign a metric
value to each one, giving the lowest value to the desired connection:

1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the desired connection.
3. Click Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
4. Click Properties > Advanced.
5. Un-check "Automatic metric".
6. Enter a number between 1 and 9999 for the "Interface metric".

Re: dual nic route Internet though one

I tried that and it works perfect.

On the other end of the WIFI is a media server (Xtreamer) that share out a drive on the Windows network when I connected it to router A via a cable, this stopped working now (wifi). Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

The media server can see my Windows shared drive on my Vista.

Router B is not connected to a LAN port on router A and not on my NIC2 any longer.
