I've actually found a way to do it using the route command. &nbsp; Thanks for your comment winkingtiger. &nbsp;this sounds good too. I'll award you the points.

Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
I need to bridge 2 subnets but the router I am using is not the primary gateway &nbsp;for the &nbsp;network. &nbsp; The routing works fine if I make my router the default gateway in Windows but if I make it the secondary gateway it doesn't work. &nbsp; &nbsp;Can anyone suggest a way to make windows look to a secondary gateway if it can't find the address via the first. &nbsp; &nbsp;I am using IP addresses not names.<br />

Dear Experts,

I need to bridge 2 subnets but the router I am using is not the primary gateway  for the  network.   The routing works fine if I make my router the default gateway in Windows but if I make it the secondary gateway it doesn't work.    Can anyone suggest a way to make windows look to a secondary gateway if it can't find the address via the first.    I am using IP addresses not names.

Bridging Subnets via Secondary Router

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

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.

Networking

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.
