I have WLAN and wired LAN interface, can I enable both?. My WLAN
automatically connects when I enter into the building, I can't get
intranet web page, so I have to connect to wired LAN, can I connect
both?. What is pros and cons?.

Thanks.

You can connect to both. The advantage is that you can plug in for greater
speed on the intranet or for increased security, or you can leave the plug
out for increased mobility. You should configure the wireless adapter to
have a higher IP metric than the wired adapter so that the wired adapter
will be preferred.

Two things are possible causes for you inability to access the intranet:
incorrect wireless configuration (do you see more than zero received
packets?) or a firewall. Since the wired connection works, it's probably
not the firewall.

If you get signal and not connection, I'm going to point the finger at WEP.
