Hi all,
I have Broadband internet working with a Belkin wireless Modem/route with the LAN activated so we can share files though the house no probs. All computers are connected wirelessly.
However, I have 2 computers on my desk that I often transfer large amounts of information to and from. I found it was just too slow to transfer this information via the wireless network so I use a cross over cable and assign IP address on the Local area Network adapter only on these two machines so I can view and share files that way which is faster.
BUT When I view and share files with the computer next to me it still seems to be using the Wireless adapter to-do this which again is noticeably slower.
Is there any way I can assign a network to use a specific adapter?
I relies I could just hard wire the computers to the route but this is not practical as it’s on the other side of the room.
Or I could (Which is what I do at the moment) Disable the wireless which forces it to use my Local area network when I want transfer data.
Sorry if this hard to understand.
