Hi, my computer has two network cards on two different networks, and I want to be able to switch between which card I access the internet through. &nbsp;I can do it by adjusting the metric value on the network card(s) via Windows 7, but I rather do it by DOS and the 'route' command. &nbsp;Can anybody help me?<br />

<br />
DOS way: ?????? Please provide Solution.<br />
<br />
<u>Note:</u><br />
&gt;The LAN1 card adapter address is: 192.168.4.154; Metric is 20<br />
&gt;The other adapter card (LAN2) has a metric of 10<br />
&gt;The Network Destination &amp;&nbsp;Netmask for both cards is: 0.0.0.0 <br />
&gt;&nbsp;Both cards have gateways.<br />
<br />
<u>Again:</u><br />
I would like to know how I can make LAN1 the primary card, and then back to the backup one via the DOS route command?

DOS route command and metrics to make a network card the primary one

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

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
