I have a small home network with one WinXP and two Win98 computers that
access the internet via a cable modem attached to a D-link 614+ router.
The WinXP is connected to a LAN port and the two Win98 computers use the
wireless
feature of the D-link. Everything works perfectly.

This morning I decided to configure a dial-up connection on the WinXP for
back-up. Everything worked OK with no problems. But when I finished with
the dial-up test, the LAN internet connection was "broken". I had to
uninstall the dial-up connectoid and power down everything and power back
up to get it working again. Is there a way to have both a dial-up and a
LAN internet connection without one affecting the other? If so, what
procedures/configuration should I use?

SWAG: when you made the dialup connection your system changed default gateway
addresses, from your router's ip to your dial-up's gateway device ip. And it
never found its way back to the router's ip when you disconnected.

In the tcpip configuration widget for the dialup connection, see if you have
enabled "Use defaute gateway on remote network" (or something like that). If
you have, see if you can live with it disabled...
