ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are described for dynamically re-configuring bound adaptors on a networked computer capable of connecting to a plurality of networks via a plurality of adaptors including a WAN adaptor and a LAN adaptor. When a WAN link is activated by an incoming call, the networked computer is configured to be a router of packets between the WAN and LAN adaptors. When a WAN link is activated by an outgoing call, the networked computer logically disconnects from all adaptors except the activated WAN adaptor.
