>>Hi
>>I have a workstation that runs 24/7 many routines, connects to vfp9 web services worldwide, create xmlhttp objects to connect to other apps, runs web services and executes work in the lan and many many more.
>>Lately, one of the connections required and IPSEC VPN connection, which forced me to use 2 NICS ( network cards ) for that computer.
>>Now i have the following setup:
>>Card 1, IP: 10.103.37.8 ---> this one creates a socket connection through vpn
>>Card 2, IP: 192.168.1.5 ---> this is the normal one, does all the work, web services, browses the internet, etc...
>>For card1, when i create the socket connection, i can specify my ip address, which works great.
>>The problem is that i noticed that when browsing the internet now, it takes the system a long time to figure out what ip to use ( card 2 ), and it sometimes even timeout.
>>I sometimes try: CREATEOBJECT("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") then when trying the .Send() method, i get a "resource not found error" , then i retry and it works.
>>Same for web services, mssoapinit fails many times.
>>How can i tell microsoft.xmlhttp and mssoap.soapclient objects to specifically use the CARD2 ip address?
>>
>>TIA

Thanks Dorin
I checked the ROUTE help, but it's quite hierogliphic...Googled it a bit then got myself into more trouble...In the meantime, i set a lower metric in the tcp/ip options for the card2, and a higher one for card1, but i still don't know for sure if that did the trick completely :-(

Thanks for your help
