My bad.
I cannot think of a single instance where more than one
NIC would be in use at any given time. WIth my portable
I plug it into a docking station which is connected to a
router via CAT5. I also undock the portable at work and
then I use the Wireless NIC.
I tend too use the Wireless NIC at home almost
exclusively.
I may get to a point where I use the Bluetooth to talk to
a PDA or telephone while the PC is on the internet - but
I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it (groan).
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get home tonight.
