That did clear it up. The truth is I should have thought of that myself.
It only does make sense!!!!
Thank you!

Yes, that is how you would set it up. You specify a default gateway on the
wireless NIC, but leave the default gateway setting on the LAN NIC blank.
When you specify a default gateway on a NIC it sets up a default route
in the routing table. If you specify a default gateway on two NICs you get
two default routes in your routing table and this is problematic.
Everything should work properly if you specify a default gateway on the
wireless NIC only. The only networks you would not be able to reach would
be private networks linked through a router on the LAN. If you have any of
those, you will need to add extra routing to your machine to send traffic
for those subnets to the correct router. LAN machines should not be a
problem, because traffic for them is delivered directly (using hardware
addresses). Routing is not involved.
You can see what routes are set up by doing a route print command from
a command prompt. A default route has 0.0.0.0 in the destination and
netmask fields.

I am currently searching the web trying to find information on your last
statement "default gateway setting on the LAC "
Is there anyway to make the WLAN the default gateway being I use the WLAN
to access the internet a whole lot more than then LAN? The LAN NIC is
mostly used for just just that, local area network, without accessing the
web.
Thank you everyong for your responses.

The default gateway setting on the LAC should be blank.

Basically, yes. You can only use one default gateway per machine. You
cannot have a default gateway per interface.
If you set the default gateway to the Internet to use the external
NIC, you will need to use static routes to send traffic to other
subnets which are accessible through the internal NIC.

Is that the only option I have? The problem with that is I have to
reconnect to all other networks I would usually be connected too.
Thanks!

Hello,
When at the office I use the WLAN on my laptop to connect to my
domain.
Often I find myself connecting my laptop's Ethernet adapter to
another LAN
or device for configuration purposes. When doing so I cannot access
the
web, via my domain, because my Local Area Connection (on laptop) is
taking
precedence over the WLAN connection (on laptop).
How do I surf the web via the WLAN without disabling the Local Area
Connection?
Do I have to use Net Route? If so, do you have a good reference
link?
Windows OS' (XP Pro & 2003)
SonicWall router (My Domain)
LAN = 10.10.1.x
WLAN = 10.1.10.x
Temporary LAN = 192.168.1.x (or any scheme other than Domain LAN
above)
Thank you in advance!
