- Auto-detecting + Auto-activating/switching to the current internet connection possible ?
- Posted by Ken Philips on December 20th, 2007
On my notebook I have two possible network connections:
In office a use a fixed wired line to our inhouse-LAN.
Outside I use frequently WiFi/WLAN connection.
Currently I have always to switch manually between them (e.g. enter a new fixed, non-DHCP IP)
and furthermore deactivate/disable the LAN and enable/activate the WLAN adapter resp. vice versa.
Is there a trick to let WinXP investigate automatically wether a LAN exists or a WLAN
and auto-activate the currently best internet connection?

Hi
General you can create a preference like this,

However if the Office connection is a special type of connection you should
first discuss it with the Office's IT person.
