Hello,

The computer has a wired network card and a wireless network card, which are connected to two different broadband networks, both of which can access the internet. How can a certain program be configured to use the wireless network card for internet data, while all other programs continue using the wired network card?

    Hi,

    To configure a specific program to use the wireless network card while all other programs continue using the wired network card, you can use a method called network interface binding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set this up:

    1. Use ForceBindIP:
      • Download and install a tool called ForceBindIP.
      • This tool allows you to bind a specific application to a particular network interface.
    2. Bind the Program to the Wireless Network:
      • Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
      • Use the following command format to bind the program:
             ForceBindIP <Wireless IP> "<Path to Program Executable>"
        
        For example:
             ForceBindIP 192.168.1.2 "C:\Program Files\YourProgram\program.exe"
        
        Replace 192.168.1.2 with the IP address of your wireless network card and the path with the actual path to your program’s executable file.

    This method should help you direct the specific program to use the wireless network while other programs continue to use the wired network. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
