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.

Do not have both connected simultaneosly, before turnning the Wireless NIC
off, run this in a cmd prompt: ipconfig /release this should make the
computer remove the Wireless NIC's DNS registration.
