Hello, Suppose I have a laptop that has both Wired and Wireless connection. The Wired connection would be connected to LAN only. The Wireless connection would have full internet access. Obviously the two connections will have two different IP: a local IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x) for the Wired, and a public IP address for the Wireless. How does an application know which network path to use ? For example, I want to be able to run SSH or Synergy to other machine on the LAN, so SSH would have to use the LAN network. But I also want to be able to run mail client that is connected to an IMAP server in the outside world, so my mail client have to use the Wireless network. How does something like this work ? Thanks. AC You would have your default route defined as the next hop on the wireless network so if it is not a 192.168.x.x address it will use the wireless.
