That's the expected behaviour if the cable is disconnected.


Could the SIS card be causing a conflict?
I want to be able to use hardwire SIS card if I'm somewhere where there
isn't wireless..
Do I need to unplug wireless, connect hardwire and run Winipcfg to correct?

It's not a conflict as such, more that the computer is expecting the
same scenario when it starts up as the last time it closed down so if
you're switching between wired and wireless use it might not work
correctly straight away. As you found out, it eventually got its ip
from the wireless router and started operating correctly.

However, it's no good leaving it like that. What you need to do is to
configure hardware profiles. Here's a couple of links about it.

In one hardware profile enable the wireless adaptor and disable the
wired. In the other, enable the wired and disable the wireless. Then
when you boot up the machine you will get an extra menu before going
into windows asking whether you want the wired profile or the wireless
profile.
