Default 1 computer & 2 network cards

I have 1 computer which has a wireless card for internet connection and a
wired ethernet card for connection to internal network resources on a
different netowrk. The former is on IP range 192.168.2.x and the latter is on
192.168.1.x
The problem I have is that I cannot connect to the internet when both
connections are 'enabled' and working. To connect to the internet I must
disable the lan adapter for the wired internal network.


Since the Internet connection is via the wireless interface then this
should be the one on which you set the default gateway. Don't set a
default gateway on the wired interface too or confusion will reign.


Similarly, when I want to use the internal network, I must disable the
wireless network connection before I can access the internal network.


This shouldn't be affected by having an enabled wireless card unless
your system is confused with multiple default gateways. If setting the
ONE default gateway as described above doesn't resolve your issue then
perhaps if you post your routing table it will provide some clues.

If you're not sure how to do this, boot to a command prompt and type

route print c:\rprint.txt

This will put a printout of your routing table to a file (rprint.txt)
which you can then paste into your news client and here.
