Auto-detecting + Auto-activating/switching to the current internet connection possible ?
On my notebook I have two possible network connections:
In office a use a fixed wired line to our inhouse-LAN. Outside I use frequently WiFi/WLAN connection. Currently I have always to switch manually between them (e.g. enter a new fixed, non-DHCP IP) and furthermore deactivate/disable the LAN and enable/activate the WLAN adapter resp. vice versa. Is there a trick to let WinXP investigate automatically wether a LAN exists or a WLAN and auto-activate the currently best internet connection? Ken |

Hi
General you can create a preference like this, http://www.ezlan.net/metrics.html However if the Office connection is a special type of connection you should first discuss it with the Office's IT person.
