Default Lost internet connection after installing NU2002

Hi

I installed NU2002 yesterday and lost my internet connection through one gateway, but works through another gateway. The problem is XP can't get a response from the gateway, which works fine (tried my neighbour's). I have tried swiching back and forth between the gateways, uninstalled the network card, disabled the connection and repaired.

I connect to the internet through a LAN and can connect though a fast university gateway and a slow commercial gateway. I lost my university connection, and would like to get it back without reinstalling Windows XP.

This problem has occurred before with EZCD Creator, where I ended up reinstalling Windows XP. I have uninstalled and system restored, but it did not help. Are there anyway to get it working without reinstalling?

commercial gateway: 192.168.0.1
university gateway: 192.168.0.200

Don't know if you made up those IP addresses or not, but appear to be on the same subnet ID. If that is the case, you might take a look at the metric configuration. That is what forces your computer to use one gateway over another.

A reinstall is rather drastic for this. It probably just a configuration setting that is messed up.

It would be helpful to see you configurations. If you would to provide them in a private message instead of posting them, I may be able to help more.

Thanks a lot, it was the metrics.
