View 14 Replies View RelatedRouter A:wireless linksys with an internet connection Router B:the other is old and supports only wired connections and it does not connect to the internet I just want to use for file sharing with my old desktop that does not have wireless card. So right now, the only way I can browse with my wireless connection is by disabling my LAN connection. However, when I have both connections enabled, the browser checks for internet connectivity with the LAN and since there is none on Router B it does not allow me to browse even though I am still connected to the wireless. I want to be able to use the wireless connection for connecting to the internet and at the same time be connected to my LAN. Is there some way to specify the order of the internet connection in the browser? All I see are settings for proxy in the firefox.

I am running XP Home SP2 and using dialup to connect to my ISP.When I start the dialup connection, whether from clicking on the connection in the Network Connections window or by clicking on the desktop shortcut, it behaves strangely. Used to be that when the connection was established, an icon (two terminals) appeared in the taskbar area, and the NC window showed the connection status "Connected". Now, neither of these two things happen, so the only way I know I'm connected is hearing "modem talk" on my phone line.

When I hover over them a tool tip(the little yellow box), each one says something different. One says "connects to other computers, networks and the Internet" and the other one says"configures network software".

My computer is fine and everything, it just bugs me a little. I can deal with it if I have to.
