Direct an application down a particular network connection?

Hello, At work pretty much everything is nailed down on the network which is obviously acceptable considering we are system administrators working for secure clients who wish to go unamed at all costs. However we do have a public access point for our particular team setup that allows us to check out game news, buy stuff online and just normal usage. We can connect to both but such as things like steam will only work when connected to only the public Wifi, as soon as you plug in the ethernet network you get blocked because of the filter.

Sometimes it allows you to still use the chat on steam if you connect using the WiFi first before using the Ethernet. All out laptop's are on the company domain and we've tried googling for an application that can direct traffic from one application to the WiFi but leave everything else as normal but came up with nothing. We could do this with a bit of C++ but we simply just don't want to go that deep.

Does anyone know a quick work around or an application that does this?

Thanks for the help!

Yes i have full permissions, and also confirmation from change management and my TL that this process can put forward. As they do not stop us from accessing sites because they do not want us on them, They block the access because they do not want those sites accessible to the secure clients. However we are laptop users and are mobile around the office we are not always working on secure clients and use multiple networks for multiple things. Because we are a backup and restore team we get away with a bit more than the rest of the business.

ci_newman - Why else would we have a Public WiFi access for the Backup and Restore team but not for Server support, Service desk or remote desktop? Because it's for us to use and not for them.
You're an idiot if you think that was an answer to a question. Unlike the other people who had a bash at it.

edscdk thanks for the idea I will do that later.
