    Hi All,

    I searched everywhere and could not find an answer to this. To the people using Access Connections on their Thinkpads, is there anyway to create a profile that uses both your wireless and wired connection simultaneously?

    Right now, it's either one or the other, but not at the same time...! hmmmm... am I missing something here...

    Thanks!

    Simultaneously?? Are you trying to connect to two different networks?

    Yes. One is wired, and is for the internal network, and the other is wireless, which has internet access.

    I know it's easy without AC, but I love using AC...

    I think its time to give up on AC. Its really meant for the business ready guy thats more worried about his TPS reports than trying to hook up his wireless every time. If your running an internal network, then I suggest moving on past AC. :D

    hmmmm. Well, I honestly believe the pros of AC far outweigh the cons. I connect to a number of different networks, and they each have a different network configuration, not to mention printers, proxies. So having multiple profiles with a personal setting for each one is extremely useful.

    i can dig it. but you can setup all those profiles with the intel software, vista (if you dare) and also with alternative settings with your adapters. just my opinion really, but i dont think its possible to setup what you are doing. id like to try it out for myself. good luck.
