ssh through second network card using PUTTY

[Tony]

G'day all,

I am using Putty and want to open a ssh using a second network card,

I can find no settings whereby the second card can be selected.

I have the following settings
Running Win2k
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.170
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.250

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.171
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.250

Is there something that I am missing.

Another option would be to use telnet session, but I can also find no way of
forcing the telnet to go through the second card.

Thanks in advance

If this were Solaris, I'd tell you that such a network configuration is
not supported (without some more work).

If both cards are on the same subnet, why do you care which one is used?

If the cards do different things, why are they on the same subnet?

Hi Tony,

AFAIK there is no way in putty you can select an interface before opening
a SSH connection. One way to do this is to change the network interface "metric"
value. Just increase the "interface 1" metric value and W2K will start using the
interface 2 for all the network activity.

To change the metric do the following

Right click on the "My Network Places" -> right click on the "Local Area
Connection" -> select properties ->select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) ->select
properties-> click on advanced and change value of interface metric to "2".
Click on "OK" .

Now putty (infact all the apps) should start using the second interface for
all the new connections.
