How do I direct my computer to make all http / DNS requests to the WAN

Windows 8.1 Home network

I Have 2 LAN Cards on my main computer. One for LAN and One for WAN (Internet). I have it so my other home PCs can RDP to my main computer.

How do I direct my computer to make all http / DNS requests to the WAN instead of the LAN. It seems to take a long time to access the internet and I perceive that this may be the problem.

ok... sorry for the delays.. weather and meetings have been my enemy.. I need a step-by-step here... Something your mom would be able to understand...lol

My "workstations" are connected to a router (LAN network) that is connected to my main computer. The router is connected to my "LAN" NIC (192.168.3.102) which gets its address dynamically from the same router... (If you have  better way let me know)...

My "WAN" NIC (192.168.2.100) is connected to a router (WAN Network) which serves wireless and is connected to my modem.

Here is something that is weird and made me think it was an issue between the NICs. When i try to access the internet from any of the routers, it is very slow and never quite completes the page. However, as soon as I disable the LAN NIC the main computer the wireless connections work flawlessly. As soon as I enable the LAN NIC it has issues...

@x66_x72_x65_x65 knowing my IPs, could you wite me another script to enter into my elevated CMD window...

Also know that I am using DynDNS on my WAN router... (192.168.2.1)
