Title: Telnet Pro on PC with 2 NICS
Post by: langit on May 17, 2005, 09:07:21 am

We just installed a second NIC on a PC (WINXP Pro) that has a an additional local IP (192.168.XXX.XXX).
Since then, the user is not being able to connect to the UNIX server since Telnet Pro uses the second NIC to connect. I do not have extra licenses to enable that 2nd NIC's IP to communicate via Telnet Pro so I'm wondering how I could specify to Telnet Pro to use the 1st NIC, as usual.
Help!?   :-\

You cannot specify which NIC to use on an application by application basis. You probably just need to add a route to the server over the old NIC (if that's what it's connected to).

From a command prompt you can do a:
netstat -rn
to see your routes and use the route command with the /p switch to specify a route to the unix machine out the other NIC. You will have to get the specifics of the command to use from your network administrator.
