problem using net.bind_ip/outgoing_ip w/ 2 simoultaneous connections

[Raziel Anarki]

i have a strange problem with ut and using two different wan connections at once

i have a lan card which connects to (via router-A) to a dsl connection (lan ip is: 192.168.0.2)

and i also have a wifi adapter which connects to (via another router- to a cable modem (lan ip: 192.168.1.77)

i wanted to use the cable connection for torrents as it is symmetric, so i could upload more and get better speeds in exchange (and also to not to crap up the dsl, as it gets slow if too many connections are open)

i have set the net.bind_ip and net.outgoing_ip to use the wifi connection to the cable modem (read: i put 192.168.1.77 in both)

all ips are set by hand, forwarding is ok, everything works if the lan cable is disconnected

when i connect it, my speeds drop to a halt, and it looks like ut is trying to use the dsl connection and not use the cable one at all... (the activity led on the wifi-adapter stops blinking)

i unplug it and my speeds return to normal... wtf?

tried restarting ut a few times, even xp and both routers once but to no avail

any clues?

(using 1.7.7 build 8179)

... Windows being stupid? I don't know... µManual talks about this being known and not a program problem

oh i see... thanks anyway.

EDIT:

well so now that i know this is a windows problem, i have been googling around, and i have found this:

How to change the binding order of network adapters in Windows

using the second method and setting the metrics for the adapters, and the default gateways (100 for lan and 1 for the wifi) seemingly solved my problem

(altough now all my connections are routed through the wifi, but at least theres no loose cables around )

it seems that my wifi connection got a higher automatic metric because it is slower than the lan (11-55mbps vs 100mbps) and this got windows confused, as it tried to use the faster route when i reconnected the lan cable

(in theory)

EDIT2:

setting the metrics to the same value (i used 1, on both gateways and both adapters) solved my problem fully!

(everything uses the dsl, ut uses the wifi)

maybe useful to have a footnote about this in the manual

thanks for steering me in the right direction
