And I think that the following statement, derived from the same URL, makes so much sense:<br><br>&quot;<i>It&#39;s perfectly normal, you cannot have two concurrent connections.</i>&quot;<br><br>Imagine the following:<br><br>

Both WLAN and Ethernet are active. Your LAN subnet is 192.168.x.x/24<br>Your WLAN has obtained 192.168.x.10/24 while your Ethernet has 192.168.x.11/24. In both cases, Gateway is 192.168.x.254.<br>What is the use??<br><br>

Imagine another scenario, where the AP is wired to a different Internet provider while the Ethernet is wired also to a different Internet provider.<br><br>You get assigned two different network addresses on the WLAN and Ethernet. However, all traffic gets sent out via the Gateway with the highest METRIC (the lower number). It means some services fail unless you specify some static routes, right? Something along the lines:<br>

<br>route add -p 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 interfaceNUM (for WLAN)<br>
route add -p 192.168.x.0 mask 255.255.255.0 interfaceNUM (for Ethernet)<br><br>Actually, someone please tell answer me this question: In scenario 2, suppose I want ALL Internet traffic to go out via WLAN and all LAN traffic to go through the Ethernet, are those commands really correct??<br>

<br>Back to @Simon Mbuthia and his pal - what was the initial intention of having both interfaces active at the same time?<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 09:58, Simon Mbuthia <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:simon.mbuthia@gmail.com">simon.mbuthia@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

&gt; Happy new year friends,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I have a friend who just bought a HP laptop which came bundled with Windows<br>
&gt; 7. He informs me that he is unable to use both Wireless and Ethernet at the<br>
&gt; same time and in order to use either, he has to disable the other. I am not<br>
<br>
</div>My work laptop (HP EliteBook 8440p, Vista Enterprise) has the same<br>
behaviour, but I was under the impression it&#39;s a custom config for<br>
security reasons. I&#39;ll check with out HP IT guys and see if they can<br>
help.<br>
<br>
