title: Defining which network to use for SQL Server 2012 Management Studio
body: <p>This may turn out to be a very easy solution, but I am having an issue connecting to a local PC's database. Specifically, I need PC #1 to connect to PC #2's database through the use of the SQL Server 2012 Management Studio.</p>
  
  <p>The problem arises in that PC #1 is connected to 2 simultaneous networks - one to the internet, and the other directly wired via Ethernet to PC #2. This causes PC #1 to fail in connecting to PC #2, because I assume that PC #1 is trying to connect to PC #2's IP address through the wrong network (the one to the internet) rather than the right one (the direct connection). If I unplug its connection to the internet, then the connection works just fine, since there is only one network to choose from.</p>
  
  <p>So the question is simple: how do I define which network to prefer to use while connecting to a server using the SQL Server 2012 Management Studio?</p>
