    Using 2 internet connections on 1 computer, 1 for network, one for browsing

    I want to have one computer connected to 2 internet connections, one of the connections would allow me to connect to the home network only for networking purposes and the other would let me do all the internet stuff. The network one will connect wirelessly and the main one would connect by via the network cat-5 slot. Anyone know how i need to configure this to work using vista? Thx in advance

      Why on earth would you want 2? Just get a decent ISP.

          you mean force local connections through one interface and force internet connections through another interface?

          start playing with your routing table

                    The question is WHY? Both networks are local to your machine and there's no need to subnet two networks... just because you want to? Learn routing or just deal with it. Your question makes no logical sense.

                      They are two different ISPS meaning the ISP i want to use to connect to the internet cannot connect to the local computers on the other ISPS router.

                          no its not as simple as you think, youve been given all the advice you need in this thread, either use it or dont. im with sharphead.

                          one would think learning routing is really simple to do too! ;)

                              The help provided is way to advanced. Basically, I will be using a second ISP to connect to the internet on the secondary computer but NEED to have both computers on the same router network for printer/file sharing purposes etc. It is very important that the 2nd computer does not connect to the internet using the main ISP if the 2nd ISP fails for some reason.

                                        you dont need 2 internet connections,

                                        you only need your wireless (for internet connectivity to your own separate router or dsl modem)
                                        and acces to local network on the line cable for printer and local network
                                        if im getting it right

                                        that has something to do with local network somewhere in network settings
                                        (network settings , right click - > detect local network stuff like that)

                                        should be no problem

                                        you just do a logical error in trying to get 2 internet connections
                                        thats a lil bit more tricky (it is possible to stuck 2 different internet connectivities to boost speed, but you need special gear and special isp for that if im not wrong)
                                        good luck

                                          The whole point is to have 2 different ISPS's connected 2 computers on the same local network to the internet. If one internet connection disconnects, IT CANNOT use the local networks ISP. I basically need to disable the local networks ISP from connecting to the internet. I am using synergy to connect both computers to the same mouse and keyboard which is why i need the computers on the same local network. Hope that makes more sense.

                                            Synergy uses a TCP/IP connection. It will also work if I can block certain applications from using this IP incase of a disconnect, like a custom firewall or something.

                                              maybe install a firewall on the 2nd computer and dont allow access to anything but 192.168.*.*

                                                I have a 5M cable connection, as well as a T1. However, I have them hooked up to different machines. The computer I do all my video processing, and uploading on gets the T1 because it uploads faster. Cable for my main PC, and wireless.

                                                  Sounds like a great idea. Whats a good firewall that I can most likely do that with?

                                                        Assign a manual IP on the connection that you want for LAN connectivity only and leave out the gateway and DNS entries.

                                                        Simple.

                                                          To clarify, a LAN connection that does not have a gateway (or DNS) entry cannot connect to the internet, but will still be able to connect with other computers in the same IP address range and subnet mask.

                                                          That's why you will have to manually assign the LAN address(es).
