Wireless + cable
I have a DLink modem router, have my desktop connected to it via the network
cable (although my PC has wireless card) and our laptop receives broadband perfectly via wireless. I want to use the cable on the desktop (because it runs considerably faster on by service than does the "wireless". My problem is that, after setup , in which the Desktop runs beautifully at network cable speed, the Desktop soon reverts to the wireless signal. I've tried removing the antenna from the desktop, but the system still runs "wireless", but, of course, at very low speed and low signal strength. I'm sure there's a simple answer... Can anyone help, please?

Wireless + cable
Why not disable the wireless card on the desktop computer ?
Additionally if the desktop cable(ethernet) and wireless are functioning the router is also dispensing an address to the desktop unit. If you don't wish to disable the wireless adapter on the desktop, you may have to modify the router settings to only dispense address or filter allow mac address of the desktop ethernet(lan)adapter. ...winston "mikeh" wrote in message ... :I have a DLink modem router, have my desktop connected to it via the network : cable (although my PC has wireless card) and our laptop receives broadband : perfectly via wireless. : I want to use the cable on the desktop (because it runs considerably faster : on by service than does the "wireless". : My problem is that, after setup , in which the Desktop runs beautifully at : network cable speed, the Desktop soon reverts to the wireless signal. : I've tried removing the antenna from the desktop, but the system still runs : "wireless", but, of course, at very low speed and low signal strength. : I'm sure there's a simple answer...

Thanks for that.
Makes sense. "...winston" wrote: Why not disable the wireless card on the desktop computer ?
