Correct networking setup for TWO different networks

Hello All,

Apologies if this has already been discussed, although I couldn't find anything relating exactly to what I want to do.

I have a Vista host and a Windows XP guest. I have two networks,

one via an Ethernet cable - ISP A.
the other is wireless (Netgear WG111V2) - ISP B.

I have fixed IP addresses for both networks. ISP A - 192.168.2.10 and ISP B - 192.168.1.55

For my guest, I am using bridged networking and selecting the Netgear adaptor. This works as it should and I go out via ISP B. However, I find my host is using ISP B as well. I have changed the metric to 'force' the host to use ISP A (via the Ethernet card).

Has anyone else had a similar scenario/problem to this and what is the best way of setting up networking?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Mark.

You have to change the default gateway on the Host and set mask accordingly, this will force traffic to go one way.
