I have a wired network connected to my company intranet, and a wireless
connecting to the internet.

Right now, my wireless is set to be the default gateway for accesss to the
internet.

However, I would like my Outlook 2003 to connect to the my company Exchange
server through the wired LAN, rather than through wireless using http,
because the wireless is unstable.

Some people said it is resolved by adding a persistent route.

However, I am not very familiar with routing, and using a DHCP server in my
wired LAN. Would anybody please suggest how to add the persistent route?

I recommend asking your company's network administrator. S/he will
know whether company policy allows simultaneous connections to the
intranet and Internet and should be able to help you configure your
computer.

It needs to be noted that Windows XP was never designed to router
traffic over two "simultaneously" connected network.

You might be able to start understanding the problem and "might: find

Routes are directed by the destination IP address. To answer this,
we'd need to know your Exchange Server's IP address.

Assuming your Exchange Server's address is 12.34.56.78, you might try
entering the following route:

route -p add 12.34.56.78 mask 255.255.255.255 10.6.34.254 metric 1

This assumes that your wired interface is 10.x.x.x and your wireless is
192.x.x.x.
