Sometimes there are some applications which take the ‘first network card’ in order to send/receive traffic.
If you have multiple network cards, this can be problematic of course.
In case you want to resolve that, you can change the order of the network cards.
In order to do that, first get the interface index id.
This can be found with the Get-NetIPInterface command in powershell:
ifIndex InterfaceAlias AddressFamily NlMtu(Bytes) InterfaceMetric Dhcp ConnectionState PolicyStore ------- -------------- ------------- ------------ --------------- ---- --------------- ----------- 26 Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Inte... IPv6 1280 50 Enabled Disconnected ActiveStore 19 isatap.{529E76FA-1803-4A9E-8... IPv6 1280 50 Disabled Disconnected ActiveStore 18 isatap.{AD1391A5-B98A-441B-B... IPv6 1280 50 Disabled Disconnected ActiveStore 1 Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 IPv6 4294967295 50 Disabled Connected ActiveStore 17 IP1-vlan111 IPv4 1500 10 Disabled Connected ActiveStore 16 IP2-vlan118 IPv4 1500 10 Disabled Connected ActiveStore 1 Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 IPv4 4294967295 50 Disabled Connected ActiveStore
Now you can change the order with the Set-NetIPInterface command. Of course, you need to run powershell as administrator to accomplish this.
The command below will set the card with interface id 16, IP2-vlan118, as first card.
Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex 16 -InterfaceMetric 1
