New guy here so take it easy guys.![]()
Just today, here at work they set us up with a wireless internet connection. Works great, no complaints with that. My issue is that I would like for the wireless to be my primary (default) connection for the internet because the speeds are much faster than the DSL. But, I cant disconnect my DSL line because it takes me off the network and therefore cant access the company server. Without manually unplugging and plugging the DSL line in every time I connect to the internet, do I have another option? How do I set my computer to automatically access the wireless connection first before the DSL connection?
Many Thanks

Normally MS will use the 1st device that makes the connection as the primary. So do not make the DSL connection till the wireless has been made. If Vista, there is suppose to be a way to have multiple isp connections. Some one using Vista will have to help you on that one.

yea, I'm using XP. I'll give that a shot again.....I tried that earlier and still think the DSL over road it. Thanks

No luck with using wireless at startup then plugging in the DSL.......it always defaults back to the DSL.
I guess I'm SOL, I thought that if anyone could help me out it would be you guys, but I guess it cant be done. Thanks anyways. -
I'm new to home networking, but try this #3 (?): http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...d9bb-41a9-bec1-1dc8bc8d33351033.mspx?mfr=true ... well looks like my link is wrong but there should be some way to set your wireless to be the "preferred network". Good luck.
