auto switching from LAN to Wifi connection

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

If you are using Windows XP, you should be able to open up network
connections, right click on the wireless connection, and select disable.
Are you by chance using an IBM Thinkpad along with IBM Access Connections?
If so, you should be able to tell it to use wired over wireless as the
preferred connection. When you are wired, it will disable the wireless
device.
