Switching the Network Card that XBMC uses?

I have an XBMC running on a Windows 7 system and I have 2 Network Cards installed (A & B). I would like XBMC to use Network Card "A" but for some reason it has pick "B" and Im not sure how I can switch it to "A"? Is this at all possible?

XBMC should be listening on all IP addresses. If you open a command prompt and type:

netstat -an | find "xx"

where "xx" is the port number e.g. "80", this will show you what IP address XBMC is listening on. In my case I get:

Code:
D:\temp>netstat -an | find "81"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:81             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

The address "0.0.0.0" means it's listening on all addresses.
