ssh through second network card using PUTTY – Google Groups

Hi,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 Win7
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.170
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.5
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.1

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

    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 (in fact all the apps) should start using the second interface for all the new connections.
