Windows Network and 2 NICs
How can i stop windows networking using the second NIC in a pc for network traffic. It's meant to be outgoing traffic on DC++ only (its limited to 25k/sec), but yesterday bladdy windows decided it will use it for networking. This means that trying to browse to that machine is stupidly slow and locks up explorer.
The odd thing is remote desktopping to that machine's name goes in on the other card??!
Card 1 is: 192.168.0.2
Card 2 is: 192.168.0.204
Gateway is 192.168.0.1, can i set a silly IP on card 2 which windows wont network with, but the gateway still be able to forward traffic to and from it?
I know its probably easy but I'm brain-deadified today

Use a different subnet? I think call the second card 192.168.1.1 or something else for the third octet. We do this for replication between two machines which are next to each other to save the network traffic.
