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. Similarly, when I want to use the internal network, I must disable the wireless network connection before I can access the internal network. I do not get any error messages, other than after a period of trying to connect, the attempt just seems to 'time out' It seems to me that the 2 networks are getting confused with one another. I have tried bridging the networks but this did not work. Any suggestions are much appreciated. |

I have tried bridging the networks but this did not work. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Given a wireless and wired network connection to a computer, the default for Windows is to prefer the wired connection. You can change the preference by changing the Metric assigned to each NIC. In your network control panel, right-click on your wired connection and select "Properties". Then in the window, scroll down to the bottom and double-click on "Internet Protocol TCP/IP". Then click on the "Advanced" button. Then, at the bottom, there's a box that's probably already checked labeled "Automatic Metric". Uncheck this box and enter a metric (number) into the "Interface Metric" box. For your Wired connection, enter "10" and then "OK" to close out all windows. Repeat the process for your wireless connection except enter the metric "5". (the lower metric gets the higher priority). This should direct your default gateway through your wireless card instead of your wired card if both connections are active. HTH, John |

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.
