2 internet connections, want to use specific one

I have 2 internet connections running into my machine,

one wireless and one cable.

the cable one is also on LAN to a server that also handles the dhcp and DNS

I want to be able to use the wireless connection for internet purposes and have the wired connection still let me go onto the lan and handle the DNS

Just plug your LAN in to your PC, and if it's a wireless enabled PC, it won't effect it. I did it on mine and it worked fine. Cos if I could disable the LAN, I could access the net via WLAN.

Yes, you can do that. What I meant by my reply was.

I have a PC which has a built in wireless card, if my LAN decides to play up, I can still use a router via my Wireless.

So, I have the cable plugged in to my LAN card, but can still have the Wireless connected to a router (Available networks) And also use my LAN
