Guest 7736 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Good day Alll. Sorry if this topic is posted elsewhere. I have looked for a near match but none. anyways. What i wanted to know. I have a wired connection and a wireless connection operational. My lan connection uses a proxy fro the internet and the wireless connection does not use any. the reason the wireless connection uses no proxy is because of guest atmy company.. What i would primarily like to do is have my LAN connection not to be used for the internet. It seems that whenever i plug the wired connection back on.. it takes over for the internet.. how do i let the wired connection not be used for internet access.

I go to internet settings and then connections, where i uncheck to use proxy settings.. the only i have access to the internet. but the moment i plug back the lan connection. internet cannot be refreshed or go further. now my guess is that Internet explorer uses the lan connections as the preferred choice and then switched over to wired lan. Then since there is no proxy specified there will be no internet. How do I get inetrnet explorer to only use the wireless connection even when the wired connection is plugged in? i am sure there is some preferance setting somewhere.. Thanks for your help..

That brought alot of insite to controlling the network connections. but i still need to find out how can i get IE to use the wireless only. I have tried the metric config. but i would like the wired connection to have access to other lan connections when the metric is changed it is always using the wireless first. which is not what i want.. i just want IE to use one specific interface.
