wifi?

Here are the 2 connections:

LAN - connected to a network with a domain controller (DC), but this network has no internet access.

WLAN - connected to wireless router with internet access

I guess I could use the probabilities of bhplt having a DC at home to make a few trips around the universe with the Heart of Gold. :whistle:

Of course. I merely mention it being there because I needed to see what kind of access I had on both networks while both connections were active. I could have just said it was another computer.

I had noticed that as well. Of course I was not entirely concerned with trying to figure out why I couldn't access the internet... I was wondering if this is either something to do with it being a wireless connection... or if it was because I had connected to wireless last in my chain of events.

Like bphlpt said when we have multiple connections (wired and wireless activated) we can see all them but the wireless connection takes precedence!

But wireless did not take precedence in my case.

[...]

I enabled/connected to both LAN/wireless networks, set the Wireless network to "Connect automatically" and to "Connect to a more preferred network if available" then restarted the laptop so it would pick which network it wanted to use.

[...]

As Trip has said, both LAN and wireless use the same Gateway (and DNS) addresses. The info shown here is consistent with that previously posted, showing simultaneous connection to both networks.

I then opened up a Firefox page to QVC (my wife's home page) then:

[...]

Result [Not showing 127.0.0.1 type connections, etc]: (Both networks connected)

The LAN was obviously used for Internet connection..

So, in this case, the LAN took precedence.

Cheers and Regards

I cannot proceed further than the 1st step, because I cannot see the "Manage wireless networks". !!!

screenshot

but i want an alternative way to bring the "available wireless networks" window, not via any traybar icon!

Go to Control Panel. Select: Category. Click on Display Network near the Network icon!

Or you can use: Start | Run

explorer shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

(God Mode)
