Wireless vs Lan Connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a W3K AD DNS setup. I Have a XP laptop with a LAN connection
and a wireless connection. when I ping the laptopby name, it comes
back with the IP of the wireless connection. What determines what IP
gets associated first with the name of the laptop. I would like the
LAN connection to be the preferred connection.

thanks
Rick
