On this PC there are 2 network cards X and Y.
Each is connected to a different network as a dhcp client.

X has ip address 192.168.2.10, gateway 192.168.2.1, dhcp server 192.168.2.1, dns server 192.168.2.1

Y has ip address 192.168.4.19, gateway 192.168.4.1, dhcp server 192.168.4.1, dns server 192.168.4.1

When I am using my web browser, which network card(s) is the traffic flowing thru?
How is that determined?

The browser is not configured to use any proxies, etc.
By looking at the LEDs on the NIC, you can tell that it is X.
But I don't understand how X is chosen instead of Y.

Both the NICs have cables plugged into them.
As mentioned above, both have IP addresses assigned to them.
