IE7 Internet connection when 2 networks connected
Hi,
I am trying to help a friend set-up their laptop to use the following set-up.
1. Wireless connectionto Wireless network router which has a network printer installed - No phone line
2. Using a Mobile PDA running Windows Mobile 6 set-up with GPRS/3G and Internet sharing.
The connection to the wireless network works fine and the PDA internet sharing works fine.
When the PDA and wireless are connected at the same time the laptop will not connect to the internet, it seems to try the wireless router all the time.
They currently have to disconnect the wireless network, surf to page, reconnect wireless, print, disconnect wireless.
Anyone know how to make this work??
Thanks
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
I suspect the cause of this issue is that there are multiple default gateways configured on the Windows Vista machine. In this environment, please do not set default gateway for the wireless connection on Windows Vista.
For more information, please refer to the Multihoming section in the following article:
