I have 2 NIC cards connected to 1 PC that has Windows XP Pro.

Both the NIC cards are connected to 2 different ISP providers.

How can i choose which one is the primary card and use the other one as backup?

  1. Why not simply disable one of the cards until you need it?  Only takes a few seconds to enable it when you lose the other ISP.


  2. No need, your PC will choose which to use since you are connected to two differing ISP's. I do hope your NICS are named for their connection, at least have different names. IE 1 being Comcast and 2 being ATT

    Cheers
