Question : send ping request to a specific interface among others

Dear all,

I have wireless connection with a WISP where WISP many times per day have troubles in its internet connection. In WISP intruption I use dial-up connection to access internet.

The question is how to ping the WISP IP to see if it comes alive or not while my ping is being routed to dial-up connection and can't be replied? My WISP use priviat ip of range 192.168.xxx.xxx

Thanks in advance

Answer : send ping request to a specific interface among others

You can add a static route for the network of WISP to your PC.

> route -p ADD 192.168.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 [gateway ip of WISP]
