Hi,
I've got 1 PC with a USB/DSL modem and a wireless card 520+ and another PC
with the same card.
The 2 computers can see each other and share folders/printer. That's all I
need.
The PC with the DSL modem seems to have a problem. As soon as the wireless
is up I can't get to the internet because it tries to send via the wireless.
Is there some way to set up routing ? The wireless network has fixed IP's
the DLS/Modem get's everything from the ISP. There is an IP address in the
gateway of the modem but it's set to get IP automaticly.
There is Win2000 running on both machines.

Thanks
Matt

I've tried it and it sounded logical to me. But it still didn't work. I
changed that USB/DSL modem with a wireless dsl accesss point and it worked
fine.

Thanks for your info
Matt
