All Traffic Through one NIC

[viperwalt]

Hey,

I have been trying to set this up with wingate for two months now:

I want ALL traffic (http, pop3, smtp, [as much as possible]) through one NIC. However, when setting up a http proxy for example, wingate sends traffic through both NICs. Speedtests show speeds that can only be the result of both modems. How would I set it up correctly? Thanks a lot.

If you only have one default gateway all traffic should use it's associated NIC.

You could use the Gateways configuration of your proxies to specify which gateways you want the proxy to use. If you only specify one gateway, then that is the only gateway that will be used.

Normally unless you override it (which WinGate allows you to do for proxies), the OS is the thing that chooses which NIC to use for any packet it sends.

the OS uses the system route table to determine this.

When you say more than one NIC is being used are you sure this is for outbound (sent) packets? It's possible a lot of traffic is coming in the NIC you don't want it to, and you can't control that from the machine itself.
