If someone could point me in the right direction for some tips on the following it would be much appreciated.

My boss has a PC with 2 network connections. One is connected to our company server and the second to his own ADSL connection.

What he wants to do is have Outlook still connect to Exchange on the server but he wants his browser and ftp program to go through the other network connection.

At the moment everything seems to route through the server connection unless I temporarily disable it and then (except for Outlook) everything goes through the other network. Not really ideal!

Is there a way of doing this. Maybe I can route certain tcp ports to a specific network or something ?

Thanks
 
Is that the trick, to simply have the default gateway/DNS set to the ADSL network and then just leave his Outlook pointing to the exchange server on the other network?

I assmume that if you specify a specific IP to Outlook for exchange then it will look there? I just want to be sure that Outlook won't just start trying to locate our exchange via the ADSL network an obviously fail.

Do I use something like 'netsh' to change the default gateway/DNS ?
