I have WLAN and wired LAN interface, can I enable both?. My WLAN
automatically connects when I enter into the building, I can't get
intranet web page, so I have to connect to wired LAN, can I connect
both?. What is pros and cons?.

Thanks.

I have read on serveral newsgroups that bridging the WLAN and LAN interfaces can cause network instability not to mention the security risk.

You should have no problem other than a red "x" on your network connection
when you unplug. You can actually setup two network settings, one for wired
and one for wireless. If you use the wired mostly set it up as the primary
network connection and set the wireless up as a secondary connection and XP
will look for the first available.
