Answer Re: QOS Policies in Vista not working. )

I added two nics to one of my Vista boxes, as I have two ISPs at the moment (DSL and Cable).There's a long and tortured reason why I need that particular box to use both networks that I won't go into. This particular post is the only info I have found so far on how Vista feels about two network cards, other than that I can go into advanced network properties and set a preferred order for the network cards, or otherwise change the routing priority in a couple of other places.
The bummer is this kinda confirms that I will have problems trying to get one program to use one ISP, and other programs to use the other...
