wireless and lan connections

[7736]

Good day Alll.

Sorry if this topic is posted elsewhere. I have looked for
a near match but none.

anyways.
What i wanted to know.

I have a wired connection and a wireless connection
operational.
My lan connection uses a proxy fro the internet and the
wireless connection does not use any. the reason the wireless
connection uses no proxy is because of guest atmy company..
What i would primarily like to do is have my LAN
connection not to be used for the internet.
It seems that whenever i plug the wired connection back on..
it takes over for the internet.. how do i let the wired
connection not be used for internet access.

Set the "Default Gateway" and the "DNS Server" addresses
for your wired connections to an invalid number, e.g. to
222.222.222.222. If this makes no sense, post the output
from this command in your reply:

ipconfig /all

Hi I have tried that..
even with the dns and gateway changes . internet
explorer still looks at the lan connection.
just another explaination.

when i unplugg tye wired connection.. I go to internet
settings and then connections, where i uncheck to use proxy
settings.. the only i have access to the internet. but the
moment i plug back the lan connection. internet cannot be
refreshed or go further. now my guess is that Internet
explorer uses the lan connections as the preferred choice
and then switched over to wired lan. Then since there is
no proxy specified there will be no internet.

How do I get inetrnet explorer to only use the wireless
connection even when the wired connection is plugged in? i
am sure there is some preferance setting somewhere..
Thanks for your help..

"Interface Metric" might be your answer. Have a look here:

Thanks.. That brought alot of insite to controlling the
network connections. but i still need to find out how can
i get IE to use the wireless only.
I have tried the metric config. but i would like the wired
connection to have access to other lan connections when
the metric is changed it is always using the wireless first.
which is not what i want.. i just want IE to use one
specific interface.
