If you take my advice (and didn't see my reply to Jack)...if you do this...on the WLAN that doesn't have an internet connection....write down it's IP address and such, and then manually set the IP....but leave default-gateway blank. You'll still have local connectivity but it won't try to route any internet traffic over it.

For someone who only understands basics....the easiest soltion is to get a second WLAN card (or usb device) for your desktop. Connect one to your internet-point and the other to your local WLAN for file/print sharing.
You COULD do something crazy like establish a link with the internet WLAN to your file/print WLAN and only have to maintain one connection, but if you only understand the basics of networking, it'll be over your heard.

I have a Dell D600 with Pentium M running XP SP3 and have two WPA-secured
WLANs available - home (file sharing & printing) and internet from next door
(landlord paid for!).
I want to connect to both networks at the same time without the need to
disconnect from the internet link to print and visa versa via the 'View
Wireless Networks' dialogue! Is there a simple way to do this for a person
who only understands the basics of networking!
Thanks a million,
jkforde
