I have an IBM ThinkPad T42 running Windows XP SP2, and I have two
network adapters:
1. Intel PRO/1000 MT
2. Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
I have the adapters set to IP xxx.xxx.x.3 and xxx.xxx.x.4, respectively.
For network bindings, I have the LAN set first, then WiFi. The
problem is, when the laptop is in its dock, where it should have a wired
connection, it uses WiFi instead. If I set both adapters to the same
IP, such as IP xxx.xxx.x.3, and the laptop is in its dock, it uses the
wired network, as the WiFi connection cannot setup its IP. How can I
get Windows XP to use the wired connection when present, and only the
WiFi as a fallback? Thanks.
