dialup connection disconnects LAN

[rwaldron]

Hiya all,
I use a PC (win7) to monitor devices on our LAN.
When a device fails to respond and email is sent (via dialup ).
ie: dialup to the internet and send email. LAN connection does not have internet access.
don't ask but yes we should use the LAN to send email but for this particular setup we have been asked to only use dialup.

My problem is that as soon the dialup connection completes My PC's drops connection to the LAN ( via ethernet).
I need the LAN to stay connected when dialup is connected.

From reading up on this issue I think I need to create a persistent route ?

There is an option on the dialup connection to "use default gateway on remote network"
if I untick this option then The LAN no longer drops when dialup connection is made. However dialup connection then still fails to send email.
If I tick this option again then dialup email does send correctly but LAN Drops

any help please to get dialup and LAN working similtaneously.
I can provide route print output before and after dialup if needed.

Ray..

Open Control Panel,
Goto Network And Sharing Center -> Change adapter setiings (On the Left Pane)
On this window hit the Alt key on your keyboard, you will see the Menu bar.
Click on Advanced -> Advanced Settings
Under the tab "Adapters and Bindings" select your LAN adapter and move it above your dialup connection.
Try and Let me know if this works for you.
