If you figure it out please let us all know. I tried for a year to get a
ired and wireless Nics to coexist and finally gave up and now only use
wireless in my laptops. Perhaps with DHCP and using the same router, DHCP
server it might work. TCP/IP only allows a single default route for all
connections, so I could never get access to the other one (this was with
the now ancient IBM Wireless LAN). I couldn't get NetBIOS to work with
two Nics either. Though I have two wired Nics in server which runs Injoy
firewall, without problem.
What others have done is use the Alt-F1 boot menu to select which
configuration to run on boot. There was an article on how to do multiple
boot configurations a long time ago by Dan Casey in the VOICE Newsletter.
It swaps config.sys with the appropriate driver and you have to swap
protocol.ini files also. http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0898H/vnewsf2.htm
