Re: can't access wired lan at same time as wifi link

I tried it without brackets.

I can now from my desktop browse the household wired lan while the laptop is
connected to the desktop via wifi. The desktop still can't access the
household shared internet connection though while the wifi usb dongle is
connected though.

I have the [# hops] at 1 is this correct?
the internet goes:
xp home desktop > hub > win98 "proxy box" > adsl modem

Start>run>cmd to get command prompt
then I typed in
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [192.168.0.101] metric [1]

The reply was
route: bad gateway address [192.168.0.101]

run this on command prompt:
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [LAN gateway IP] metric [# hops]

of course replace the brackets with correct data. Simply run route on
command prompt to get a hint of how it works.

You are right on our lan being a 10Mbps variety.


As soon as I disconnected the link and unplugged the wifi usb dongle,
Ie
could load a page. How do I manually force the route (dummies guide
please)

The routing information is setup so that it will take the shortest
path.
So
if your wifi connection runs faster than your Lan then your computer
will
start using the wifi connection as a gateway. I'm guessing your lan is
10
Mbps while your wifi is 54 Mbps. This will help:

I have a new laptop running x home. I have a desktop running xp home
that
is
on the household peer-peer wired lan.

When I establish a wifi (802.11b/g) link between the desktop and
laptop
I
can brows the desktop shared folders from the laptop. But at the
same
time
my desktop can't acess the household shared internet connection or
lan
(which
is proxy plus running on a win98 box). When I drop the wireless
connection
my xp desktop can access the internet connection and lan again.

Why is this?

The laptop is also set up to use a ethernet cable as well.
Also while I can access files/subfolders within a predefined
"bluetooth"
folder on my desktop from my laptop, I can't use bluetooth to access
internet
from the laptop. bluetooth does not affect network connections on
the
desktop
