Wireless network being disabled

I have a new hard drive installed in my laptop. I am running XP Professional SP3. I need my wireless connection to be DHCP and the ethernet card to be static. When I set the IP address up in the properties for the card it accepts it no problem. When I plug the cable in and go to ipconfig after about 10 seconds (about mid way thru I see both IP addresses) the wireless is saying disconnected. When I go to network connections is is saying it is not connected. When I unplug the cable the wirless works fine.

Thanks for any advice
