Have the following setup om my PC :
Lan1 connected to Linksys connected to Iburst G3
Lan2 connected to Netgear connected to ADSL 1G unshaped (WA)
Linksys is also accessed by 3 other PCs (wired and wireless)

If both are active, I want to be able to "point" games like GTR, etc to Lan2, (iow also restrict access to Lan2) while my normal stuff d/l etc. goes thru Lan1. If only 1 is active, everything must go thru it obviously. This is not about local or intl

Possible ?
 
Go to 'Network Connections', you can see a list of all network connections. Both LAN ports should be there. Under 'Advanced Settings' in the 'Advanced' menu, you can see a list of all connections and the order in which they are accessed. You can change the order using the buttons on the side.

I don't think, however, that you'll be able to restrict access, only force them to look at LAN2 first. Perhaps a smarter firewall where you can configure zones as well as which zone an application is allowed to use?
