2 Network Cards
This forum is an excellent help place, though I have a different problem which is not mentioned here...
I trying to play "Heroes 3 Complete" on the net but I'm having a problem...
My PC has Two (2) Network Cards, one connects me to the internet and the other one is connected to a secondary computer through wire for LAN etc.
Just for clarification: I don't have a router. I simply have two network cards. one for the Internet and one for the LAN. (hope everything is clear by now)
Anyway, the problem is I can't play on the net because Heroes uses the internal connection adapter instead of the external. What indicates on that is the fact that when I enter "MultiPlayer----->TCP/IP" I see that the IP adress in upper section of the window is 192.168.0.1, which is the internal adress.
The only way I can play on the net is by disabling the LAN adapter and therefore forcing Heroes to use the External adapter. but this is not a solution!
How do I solve this problem?
My game version is "Heroes 3 Complete" and my OS is XP Pro SP1...
Thanks in advance

The internal card is probably in a lower-numbered slot. Most programs will check the slots in numerical order. If you switch the cards in their slots, Heroes may see the external card first.

Well, the internal card is on slot 5
The external card is on slot 3
and if the game checks for the slots in a numerical order as your'e saying than it should spot the external card first, shouldn't it?

Hum. Never mind that then.
Well, uh... you have to disable the internal network card just to make Heroes see the external one? Have you tried switching the network cable to the onboard Ethernet adapter instead? I imagine just unplugging the cable and moving it somewhere else is much easier (not to mention containing 1oo% fewer reboots) than disabling the network card.
