Hi
I have an hp laptop (6710b) and a desktop , my laptop has both wired and wireless connections,

I want to use my laptop wireless connection to connect to the internet ,and the lan connection to connect to my desktop at an same time.

The problem is
when I plug my lan wire into laptop , my laptop wireless connection stops working ( a red cross over the computer sign in the taskbar) .

what should I do to prevent this from happning i am on win xp sp3 ?
shd i need to change some policy kind of stuff ....... ??

Thanks in advance
 
u can use both wireless and wired connections at the same time..no problems.

check if your wifi signal is weak. wifi connection might be dropping because of that.

It is also possible that both wired and wifi have the same IP on your laptop and create IP conflict. Check the ip addresses of both.. since you are setting up private network between pc and laptop, select "choose ip and DNS automatically".

Why don't you simply connect to your desktop via the WiFi itself? It would be much more convenient too, and you'd overcome this problem.
