From memory (and this goes back some many years):<br />
<br />
By default outbound connections will use the LOWEST IP address in your system to make all outbound connections.<br />
<br />
You can confirm this for me by checking the IP Addresses and determine if you are always using the lowest one.<br />
<br />
The only way to change this is in the application itself, it has to specifically specify the IP Address to use for the outbound connection, by default this parameter is not supplied to the TCP Drivers and so the OS assigns the connection to the lowest IP Address on the system.

Make sure your Default Gateway is only set on NIC2.<br />
To confirm from a command (CMD) prompt:<br />
route print<br />
<br />
your default gateway is the 0.0.0.0 entry<br />
Cheers

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have 2 NICs in my computer both connected to a different ISP.<br />
<br />
NIC1 I use for uTorrent to seed abandonware (used bind option in uTorrent to hook it up to one IP)<br />
<br />
NIC2 should be the default NIC for the system for all other programs (browser, email) etc.<br />
I applied the following settings:<br />
- Network Connections -&gt; Advanced -&gt; Advanced Settings -&gt; [tab] Adapters and Bindings<br />
- Moved NIC2 to the top of the list and rebooted<br />
<br />
IE still connects through NIC1? Why?

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
