    I got 1 internet cord that is my local network+internet
    I also got a 3g plugged into my PC.
    I'd like to keep my local network, but use 3g internet...

    I did try to cahnge the metric in adapter settings, but it still uses my ord internet.
    Any ideas?

    Set manual ip on the local network without gateway and dns servers and together with the changed metrics, all apps should use the network that has internet access.
