Windows behavior when connected to both wired and wireless networks

Modern laptop computers come equipped with both Ethernet and wireless network adapters. The Ethernet adapter typically supports both 100BaseT and 10BaseT. The wireless network adapter might support 802.11b (11 megabit per second [Mbps] maximum bit rate), 802.11g (54 Mbps maximum bit rate), 802.11a (54 Mpbs maximum bit rate), or a combination of 802.11 technologies. When a wireless laptop is undocked from its docking station, it has only 802.11 wireless connectivity. However, when the laptop computer is docked, it can have both Ethernet and 802.11 wireless connectivity.

This article describes how computers running Microsoft® Windows® XP or Windows Server™ 2003 behave when they have simultaneous connectivity to both wired and wireless networks.This article also describes workarounds for ensuring either that only one network adapter is active at any one time, or that the majority of the network traffic flows over the desired network adapter.(continue at source)
