Windows two gateways

When I send a ping to How does it decide? Have a look at this :. The interface metric becomes the metric of the default route in the routing table for the configured default gateway.

The interface with the highest speed has the lowest metric for its default route. The result is that whenever multiple default gateways are configured on multiple interfaces, the fastest interface will be used to forward traffic to its default gateway. If multiple interfaces of the same speed have the same lowest interface metric, then, based upon the binding order, the default gateway of the first network adapter is used.

The default gateway for the second network adapter is used when the first is unavailable. Have this issue when WiFi and Ethernet are connected at the same time. Ethernet is faster per previous post thus behavior is that the PC wants to send data thru Ethernet gateway by default and does not load balance or utilize both paths if one path does not lead to the internet.

I wanted to have WiFi access when configuring bench devices. Set WiFi to 1. The problem was gone. Run this command on the PC: route -p add Thai Pepper.

We remotely manage and maintain this computer via a remote control client MSPAnywhere. So I'm trying to forestall any possible problems the system might have making a Internet connection for the remote client in case a problem comes up.

I gave multiple gateways I gave multiple IP but still not working. For additional IP address ranges, add static routes. Please suggest how can i access both networks …. Thanks in advance. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Tony November 24, A switch is triggered when TCP has tried one-half of the TcpMaxDataRetransmissions times to send a packet through the current default gateway. After the switch, all IP traffic originating from any network adapter on this computer destined for remote networks will be sent to the currently selected gateway. On disjointed networks, this can lead to lost connectivity and subsequent termination of active sessions with computers on remote networks connected through the first gateway.

This is because the currently selected gateway may be unaware of other routes managed by the first gateway if those routers do not exchange routing information to each other. If the switched gateway is unreachable or inactive on the network, it loses connectivity to all remote sites. At this point, a ping to this computer from a remote network will fail to get a positive response.

Similarly, any outgoing ping to a remote host from this computer will give a Request timed out error. Consider a computer with two network cards, Netcard1 and Netcard2, and the following IP addresses and default gateways:.
