Default wireless card and dock staion lan

Thanks gary,
If this was my laptop I would be happy with just using the lan and not the
wireless when docked. However this is my big brothers laptop and he is a
little anal about things and thinks it is to hard to disable/enable devices.
My laptop does fine with both wireless and lan at the same time when docked,
but I am using xp on a new laptop. Do you know where I can get docking info?
Thanks again,
John

Why not disable the wireless when the laptop is connected to the docking
station? You're not likely to lose the LAN signal. (I don't know why having
them both enabled causes them not to work, you'd have to ask an expert in
docking stations. Ii my experience, you can have both LAN and wireless
connected and things work just fine under normal circumstances.)

Hi,
I have 98se on a toshiba techra 8100. I have a linksys wireless card and
the
note book is on a docking station. When both the card and dock lan are
enabled I can not get on the inter net. If I disable either one I can get
on
teh net. I have all the updates and patches installed and both work fine
independantly. I just want to have both enable so if I lose the wireless
signal the lan will take over.
Thanks,
John
