Hello ,

I have not found any other suitable place to discuss with guessnet, so I may be permitted to discuss with my guessnet problem here. My guessnet setting is running well. It has three profile ; one for home and two for office. All these are based on eth0 (NIC).  In case of office I have two internet connection.  And my related profiles are as below

``````````````
 iface office-airtel inet static
        address 192.168.1.99
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        metric 1
test peer address 192.168.1.1 mac  00:15:17:62:39:4f

 iface office-tata inet static
        address 192.168.1.99
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        network 192.168.2.0
        broadcast 192.168.2.0
        gateway 192.168.2.1
        metric 2
test peer address   192.168.2.1 mac 00:17:31:c0:bb:f6
````````````````````

But guessnet always pick the second one office-tata. I have omitted the office-tata from map and then guessnet pickup the other one. How can I prioritize  the office-airtel over office-tata ? I have used metric but it does not have any effect. One workaround may be setting office-airtel as default map, but i am trying to set a prioritization. Any clue is very much appreciated. 

Thanks for your time.
