WLAN has higher priorities than LAN but Remote Desktop seems to still use WLAN.
I tried to achieve this by setting up a firewall rule but this does not seem to do the trick.
Here is what I tried:
1) Outgoing rule restricting MSTSC.exe to LAN.
- Interface type selected is LAN
Chosen "action": "allow connection"
In this case RD does not get connection even when I disable WLAN explicitely.
2) Outgoing rule banning MSTSC.exe from WLAN.
- Interface type selected is WLAN
Chosen "action": "block connection"
In this case RD works when I disable WLAN explicitely.
Common settings:
Both cases refer to only the program: %SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
Hi again. I believe that you can try
c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe
(without asking to expand environment variables) - or whatever the specific path of mstsc is (you can find withwhere mstsc
). – cdavid – 2014-07-17T17:31:44.817Also a setting you might have to look at is the profile - whether you are on Domain / Private / Public profile for each of the interfaces (WLAN might not be Domain, but LAN is and the rule you created applies only to Domain). – cdavid – 2014-07-17T17:33:01.543
