Quick Wireless Question.

G'day to all. I have a laptop with a Wireless and LAN connection - so no
biggy here.

My question is, if I have a wireless connection (54mb) and a LAN connection
(100MB), which connection would Win XP use to access the network, web etc?

My GUESS is, that it is smart enuff to use the Higher Speed connection -
no???

There is a built-in mechanism which favors the faster connection. But you
would be wise to place the 100 mbps adapter at the top of the binding order.
