Change Network Adapter Order in Windows

Voicent gateway sometimes fails to start on some computers with multiple network adapters, where one is used for internal networks and the other for external networks. Since Voicent software uses the primary adapter (the first adapter) for connecting to your VOIP service like Skype Connect, it will fail to start if the first adapter happens to be the adapter for internal networks.

To fix this problem, simply switch the network adapter order in windows. Changing of the adapter orders should not affect windows operations.

Change NIC order in Windows 2008/Vista/Windows 7

1. Open Network Connections
2. Press ALT key (do not hold the key, another list of menus will show up) Click advanced then click Advanced Settings
3. Click the adapters and bindings tab, then under connections, click the connection you want to modify
4. Under the Binding for connection, move the protocol up or down for the connection you have selected at the top

For older Windows, the operation is similar.
