Which connection is used

[#1]

Curious as to which connection PC uses, when it has a wired 100mbps
& a 54 wireless connection from same router, as to which one it defaults to re Interconnect speed?

[#2]

dont get too confused, probably the 100M is the ethernet connection RJ45  the 50 the USB, wiless is not as fast

Gel, if you do a route print from a command prompt you will get something like this:

The Metric on the right hand end is a weighting and the system will always use the lowest weighted route available. You should find that your 100M route has a lower weighting than the wireless one and therefore the 100M will be used in preference to the wireless.

David thanks; on my XP2 SP3 machine the command works but the pop up box disappears from screen in a nano second

I think you need to open a DOS windows by typing CMD in the run box then typing the command in the DOS window

Many thanks; that worked.
Wired connection has a lower metric as you say of 20, versus 25 for Wifi.
