Multiple NICs
I have a laptop with a wireless card that I use to
connect to my wireless router which is connected to my DSL modem. I also have an integrated NIC that I use to connect to my home PC just to transfer files. Whenever I plug in the cable to connect to my home PC, I can no longer access the Internet through my wireless card, only if I unplug the cable from the port. Is it even possible to be able to use both my wireless card and my ethernet port? I use XP Pro with static IPs. Thanks in advance to all who answer. |

I have not tried this, because I use an alternative configuration: both the laptop and the Desktop PC are connected to the router. The router may provide a NIC for a cable connection; if so, you could network the computers on this way. -- (tm) |

When you connect your RJ45 in disable the wireless connection. Sounds like
you have a binding conflict. Or you can go DHCP on the Wireless connection then Static on the LAN connection. In either case what ever you have connected should give you internet access.
