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.

BINDING order which is partly due to which is installed first but can
be manual adjusted, but the truth is you shouldn't put more than one
NIC on the same network (broadcast domain) and seldom need to
put two NICs on different nets (inter-connnected through other routers)
unless the machine itself is a router.
