Using both wired and wireless connection on laptop coming from different routers

Hello. I live in a dorm type enviornment (barracks - soldier in the
army) and have a wireless connection coming into my laptop that
supplies me with internet from a guy down the hall. Yesterday, I
hooked up my personal Linksys router to the LAN connection so that I
could run my NeoDigits Helios X3000. The X3000 streams video, music
and pictures from the computer through the network onto any television
set, including HiDef. Anyways, when I enable my LAN connection so
that I have both, LAN and wireless, enabled, I can no longer surf the
internet. The connection over the LAN to the X3000 is fine. The only
thing I can figure, is that since both the internet and the X3000 use
TCP/IP connections, all programs automatically try to access the
internet through the LAN instead of the wireless connection. How can
I change this?

Thanks in advance,
Benjamin

What OS? If Windows, the route "metric" determines which network
connection will be used, so you'll need to set the metric to give Wi-Fi
priority over wired. Then use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to
extend the Wi-Fi connection to the wired port.
