I haven't seen a "switch between Ethernet and wireless" option
anywhere.  What I do is normally leave the wireless connection (in
Network Connections) disabled, and only enble it when I want to use it
-- the Ethernet connection is effectively disabled whenever there is no
cable plugged into it.  Does that help?

Subject: [PCBUILD] Wireless connection problem

Since June when I bought a new Fujitsu Esprimo V6555 
running XP Professional, I have connected to the internet 
via wireless. 

Two days ago I switched the connection to Ethernet 
with no problems. (The ISP supplied router is both wireless 
and Ethernet).

I now wish to switch back to wireless and am unable to do 
so although the wireless icon in the bottom right of the 
screen shows a connection to my ISP with excellent signal 
strength. I have tried disconnecting and connecting again, 
which appears to work but does not give me an internet 
connection.

A netbook we have is connecting wirelessly so I don't think 
the router or ISP is causing trouble.

Is there an "option" some where that I have missed that 
swaps between using wireless and ethernet?

Thanks
Tony
