I've heard the one with the lowest Metric will be used...is this true?

i.e. Account "B"?


Thanks alot
 
Your dialled up PPPOE con should take preference - if its a windows box just run routesentry to be sure.

If it's XP, go My Network Places, view network connections, Advanced Tab\Advanced settings and in the Adapters and Bindings column the connection on top will take priority.
