We have a CISCO wireless access point connected to our wired network. I
keep getting asked what happens both the Local Area Connection and
Wireless Network Connection are enabled. What does happen? Which one is
connected? Are they both connected? Does one override the other? Thx.

Hi,

Microsoft's Cable Guy has written a nice explanation of this topic here:

The information is somewhat technical.  Basically, as long as both adapters
are enabled, they are both connected at the same time.

Assuming the wired connection is faster (more bandwidth), it will be
preferred for all traffic, except traffic that is local to the wireless
subnet.
