So I have two onboard NIC's on my Asus P5k Premium.
NIC one goes into a Linksys WRT54GS v7 w/ DD_WRT Micro to Cable modem
NIC two goes into Cable modem 2
When I only have one of the connections active (either disabled the second in Windows or left it unplugged), all of my internet traffic is fine.
When I have both connections enabled, Trillian will hop from connection to connection, Firefox will once in a while shift from the windows default internet connection of NIC1 to NIC2, and then back, and my traffic on NIC2 will slow to 0 and then pick back up again even though it's bound the NIC2.
Does Windows have some type of bandwidth management where it tries to see which route over the internet is the most efficient?
Why does my traffic bound to NIC2 slow to a crawl and resume momentarily?
Is there a way to bind Firefox or Thunderbird to a local IP?
~Thanks
