I am new to networking, my problem is: I have two internet connections in my company, so when one internet goes down, it should access from another – but it's not working: the Internet is connected to different routers and then connected to a switch. If I want to share Internet connections, what setting do I want to change on the computers or router?
I tried the following settings on the computers (Windows 7):
- Set the default gateway & preferred DNS as first internet
- Set alternative DNS as second internet
- Added the second internet connection IP in the "default gateway" option in the "advanced" tab of network adapter settings.
Take a look at this; https://github.com/Morhaus/dispatch-proxy might be what you're looking for.

You wouldn't want to run with Unnikrishnan's idea if you have more than 10 stations... Anyway, I do think that STTR's idea is better, setting metric value for each network interface. And just to make it clear - DNS won't help here, because after the DNS resolution the computers still connects with IP addresses. – EliadTech – 2013-12-02T12:16:36.523
Do you want the failover to be transparent to the user ? – Lawrence – 2013-12-02T12:17:02.037
