\ud83e\udded Dual Homing Setup Guide (Static Routing Edition)<\/h2>\n

Goal:<\/strong> Connect a single device to two separate networks simultaneously, each with its own gateway, while maintaining predictable routing behavior.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Prerequisites<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Two active network interfaces (e.g., Ethernet + Wi-Fi)<\/li>\n
  • IP addresses assigned to each interface<\/li>\n
  • Administrative access to the system<\/li>\n
  • Basic understanding of routing tables and gateways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \ud83d\udccb Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Assign IPs:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Interface A: 192.168.1.100\/24<\/code>, Gateway: 192.168.1.1<\/code><\/li>\n
      • Interface B: 10.0.0.100\/24<\/code>, Gateway: 10.0.0.1<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Disable Automatic Metric Assignment (Windows):<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Go to Network Connections<\/em><\/li>\n
        • Right-click adapter \u2192 Properties \u2192 IPv4 \u2192 Advanced<\/li>\n
        • Uncheck \u201cAutomatic metric\u201d and assign manual values (e.g., LAN: 10<\/code>, VPN: 20<\/code>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Identify Interface Numbers:<\/strong>\n
          \nroute print\n      <\/pre>\n
          Scroll to the Interface List<\/strong> section. Note the number next to each adapter (e.g., 12...Ethernet<\/code>, 13...Wi-Fi<\/code>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
        • Set Static Routes with Interface Targeting:<\/strong>\n
          \nroute -p add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 IF 12 metric 10\nroute -p add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1 IF 13 metric 20\n      <\/pre>\n
          Replace IF 12<\/code> and IF 13<\/code> with your actual interface numbers from route print<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
        • Verify Routing Table:<\/strong>\n
          \nroute print\nGet-NetRoute\n      <\/pre>\n
          Confirm that each subnet routes through its intended gateway and interface.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
        • Test Connectivity:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Ping devices on both networks<\/li>\n
          • Use tracert<\/code> or Test-NetConnection<\/code> to verify routing paths<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \ud83e\uddef Troubleshooting Tips<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Check for overlapping subnets or gateway conflicts<\/li>\n
            • Use Wireshark or netstat -rn<\/code> to inspect traffic flow<\/li>\n
            • Assign interface-specific DNS or use conditional forwarding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \ud83d\udce6 Optional Enhancements<\/h3>\n
                \n
              • Firewall rules per interface<\/li>\n
              • App-specific NIC binding via netsh<\/code> or third-party tools<\/li>\n
              • Monitoring scripts for uptime and route changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
