Wireless will connect only if Local Area is disconnected or disabled

by dalemassey . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

My home network is mixed XP and Vista, all of the XP machines pick up a connection and work fine. But the Vista machine will only get a Local connection, it connects to the router and I can see all other PC’s on the network but cannot connect to the internet.

Here’s is the weird part, this desktop also has a built in wireless adapter, if I disable or unplug the ethernet adapter, the wireless adapter immediatly connects to the internet (by that I mean I can get on the web) if I enable or plug the ethernet adapter back in I lose my internet connection.

Anbody have any ideas?
