wireless card and dock staion lan
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 |

wireless card and dock staion lan
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.) -- Gary S.

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 "Gary S.

wireless card and dock staion lan
Thinking about it, I'm probably letting XP info seep into my thinking. I'm
not so sure, now, about how 98 would handle both LAN and wireless in general. Anyway, like I said, I don't do docking, so I've given you what I can, and unless the perfect expert wanders by with some solution I somehow doubt exists, I think you're anal brother may need to adjust to the world as it is, even if he's right and disabling NICs in Win98 is a PITA. -- Gary S.

LOL, Thanks for the input. I figured I would tell him the cruel realities of
the dock. "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: Thinking about it, I'm probably letting XP info seep into my thinking. I'm not so sure, now, about how 98 would handle both LAN and wireless in general.
