Prioritize network adaptors does not work
Hi, I'm trying to force Windows 7 to use the LAN adaptor when it is connected, but Win 7 always choose wireless if the wireless is connected.
I have set the order of adaports in Networking -> Adaptor settings -> ALT -> Advanced ....
A netstat -rn reports that the LAN adapter has lowest value. Win 7 still insist on using the wireless, only way to force Win 7 to wired is to disable the wireless adaptor.
Have I missed something here? Are there any other setteing that overrides this?

Hi,
This behavior is by design: a network connection established over one interface will not tear itself down even after a faster network
connection has been identified. Network stack on Windows 7 was rewritten and it is different from Windows XP.
You will be able to use only one Internet connection at a time, either wired or wireless. And you can disable the wireless connection
and reboot the computer to use the wired connection.

Thanx for your replies.
By using interface metric I have some control over this now. WIN 7 uses the LAN connection even if wireless is connected. It's still issues when going from Lan to Wlan to Lan.
I'm using the command: netsh interface ip set interface <name> metric=#
I hope MS will look into this and enable network priority work proberly

Hi,
Please see if you are running into the scenario in the following threads:
Windows
7 will not accept the same IP address when you switch from wired-to-wireless or vice-versa (releasing the ip of the first adapter)
