Dual connection: wired + wireless
Hi all, I am currently running Vista Business. I have two connections: one through NIC that access the LAN, which has limited access to the Internet. The other, through a HSDPA USB modem. This USB modem obviously cannot connect to the LAN and hence is only for Internet. What I was wanting to do is connect both of them simultaneously and access the LAN through NIC and the outside world through USB modem. The issue I am having is when I connect the USB modem, the LAN disconnects automatically. Hence, I cannot access the LAN. Anyway around this? Thanks -- sbtm

Hi
The USB's IP is an External IP given to you by the ISP, the NIC's IP is on a local private Network IP, they do not talk one to the other. In order to work together you need between them a Routing mechanism, since you use USB (No external Routers for USDB) you need to switch On and configure Windows ICS (which is a software Router). http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...b14771033.mspx Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "sbtm" wrote in message ...

Have you tried cycling the wired LAN connection after establishing the wireless one? Unplug the wired LAN cable, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. I'm in the middle of debuggging this windows issue right now with XPSP3. Seems whenever the wireless LAN connects (in my case, a builtin wireless in my laptop), Windows forgets to talk out the wired LAN port anymore.. until I cycle the wired LAN connection. -- patbob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ patbob's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/153978.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...rk/1057955.htm http://forums.techarena.in

Hi
I depends how the Network cards are configured, under normal configuration Windows Applications can talk only to one connection at the time. There is a way to create preference by tuning the matrix. http://www.ezlan.net/metrics.html Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
