I have both an wifi PCI card, and an onboard 10/100 rj45 network
port.
I have the wifi card getting internet just fine from my neighbor.
I have my rj45 port connected to my router, so that I can connect to
other pc's on my router too. But the router isn't connected to the
internet, nor do I want it to be. It's just internal only LAN.
The problem is- if I plug my pc into the router, then internet
explorer (and every other network needy app) tries to connect to the
internet using my router, instead of my wifi card. I can see that by
pinging an ip, I can see that it's trying to use my router for DNS,
which of course fails. When I unplug my PC from the router, I can get
on the web, because it uses my wifi card since there's no router.
How do I tell windows "Use the wifi card for the web, please, not the
rj45 port, even when I'm connected to a router." ?
I have Winxp sp2. Thanks.
