You don't exactly explain what you mean by 2 networks. I assume you
mean "wired" and "wireless". They don't necessarily are
2 different
networks in IP networking sense. It would be good if you can give us
more info on your network setup. (output from "ipconfig -all"
and "route print" would help.

As far as I know in most applications you can't. Some mostly server
applications can bind to the specific adapter.

There is also an option of configuring your IP routing to use
specific adapter for specific destination IP or network or at least
give it priority by changing the interface metric.
