Metric change interface windows 7 not absolute??
Hi,
Im am trying to set/change metric in windows 7 (64-bits) of an interface to an absolute value with the route command.
Window is not taking the absolute values over i set! I want to change the metrics because i am using a LAN and WLAN adapter with both internet acces.
With simple scripting i want to tell, to which adapter the internettraffic must be routed.
the following scripts is what i used to switch between the 2 adapters (run with admin-privaliges):
Route_LAN.BAT:
route delete 0.0.0.0 // delete current entries for both adapters
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.11.254 metric 200 if 12 //12 is lan adapter
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 10.1.0.250 metric 1 if 11 //11 is wlan adapter
Route_WLAN.BAT
route delete 0.0.0.0
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 10.1.0.250 metric 200 if 11
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.11.254 metric 1 if 12
The scripts are working and they do where they are created for. BUT when i look ,after i executed the scripts at the metric with >ROUTE PRINT they are not the values i set it to.
After examining, it seems that metric settings with the ROUTE command are added to the original metric setting (set it to a manual value), that are set in the in advanced properties of the interface settings. This is different from windows XP, Why????
