Local Area Connection

[Tim]

Is there a way to use both the Local Area Connection and
Wireless Connection at the same time? I want to use the
wireless connection for the internet and the LAN for our
internal network. The way it is working now is that I
have to diable to LAN to use the wireless, then enable it
again to use the LAN.

Try with only allowing file sharing on your LAN
connection adn disabling it on the wireless...
This trick alone is probably not enough, you need to
establish somekind of routing, so your PC knows where to
go for what IP address...etc.
There has been posts about this before...try a search on
this forum..

Sure, it's possible. Make sure that the two connections have IP
addresses in different subnets.

If that doesn't get it working:

1. Check Device Manager to see if there are any resource conflicts.

2. See if there are any relevant messages in Event Viewer. To run it,
click Start | Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance |
Administrative Tools | Event Viewer. For more information, see:

You need to bridge the two connections!

HI

You need to bridge the two connections

If I understand Tim's original question, bridging the two connections
won't do what he wants. Bridging combines two or more separate
physical networks into one logical network, with a single IP subnet.
I've written a web page with details:

XP ICS - Network Bridge

Bridging the two connections won't allow simultaneous access to the
Internet on one network and the LAN on a different network.
