Hi All We have a machine in our school which sits on a vlan in our network with a static IP of 10.0.0.100 now we need this to access the internet to pull down infomation from the net. Now with this IP it cannot route through our proxy server onto the internet. I am having a network card fitted into the machine tomorrow and i am going to plug this network card into our admin Vlan which will connect with a correct IP and will be able to route through to the internet. How do i make the machine use the new network card to route the internet traffic through that card? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Scott

Use the route command to achieve this. First, in a cmd window, run "route print". Make a note of the route with destination 0.0.0.0 and interface number for the nic that will access the internet. Then run these commands route delete 0.0.0.0 route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 <ip of correct gateway> metric <value higher that the ones noted above, but lower than the ones not for 0.0.0.0> IF <number of nic as noted above> The -p parameter makes the new route permanent so you can test without -p to see if it works first.
