How To: Change NIC binding order in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012

imageAn unexpected slowdown issue had me baffled a not too long ago with timeouts to online services, web surfing, network access – generally everything had delays in starting / connecting. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why.

Then it struck me. I was using Windows 8 Hyper-V feature for some screencasts here on the blog as well as impromptu demos and I had created various INTERNAL and PRIVATE networks in order to isolate my VMGuests from the production network. By doing the newer INTERNAL networks – I had created new network adapters on my corporate client machine which screwed up my binding order!

A quick swipe to the start screen and typing of “binding” didn’t turn up anything in the search.  I then remembered the GUI way of surfacing the binding order configuration tool.

 

The Steps?

  • Just open your Network and Sharing Center.
  • Press an ALTkey on your keyboard to show the menu bar.
  • Click on the Advancedmenu
  • choose Advanced Settingsoption
  • Adjust your binding order for your NICs to ensure your primary CORP ones are at the TOP

Silly me!

    This may not always be the case. The methoud does not lists any hidden adapters which can be listed using IPconfig /all.
    This would be the last crack in this case.
