Wired and Wireless Networks

External Since: Jul 05, 2009 Posts: 1

I have a wired network connected to my company intranet, and a wireless
connecting to the internet.

Right now, my wireless is set to be the default gateway for accesss to the
internet.

However, I would like my Outlook 2003 to connect to the my company Exchange
server through the wired LAN, rather than through wireless using http,
because the wireless is unstable.

Some people said it is resolved by adding a persistent route.

However, I am not very familiar with routing, and using a DHCP server in my
wired LAN. Would anybody please suggest how to add the persistent route?

route -p add ...................

Below is the routing table of my PC.

How can I do that?

THanks in advance!

I believe Outlook uses the connection set in Internet Options
You could try a cross post to an Outlook setup group
