Vista Networking LAN and Wireless

[Guest]

Have desktop PC (Windows xp) and when I connect (Ethernet/LAN) my Laptop,
(VISTA), yes they do see each other and I can swap files.
My internet connection is wireless through a shared system with a neighbor.
When I am using the wireless internet connection, then the LAN connection
does not work and the desktop/laptop cannot see each other.
Worked previously running XP only, but with VISTA, No Go?
Remedy

It is because you have two connections that may cause the routing issue. Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.
