I've a notebook that has configured a WAN connection to connect to the
internet and a wired connection (LAN) to connect the computer to a small
network.

The problem is tha both the connections are enabled but I can't access to
the internet, but if I disable the LAN connection I can access to the
internet with no problem.

Anyone knows what can cause this problem?

Thanks

Hi
I am not sure what is the goal of the configuration.
If the Wireless source is On the same Network as the wires card, (I.e. using
the same Wireless Router) they can not both work at the same time. You can
use the Metrics setting to decide priority.
