I have a W3K AD DNS setup. I Have a XP laptop with a LAN connection
and a wireless connection. when I ping the laptopby name, it comes
back with the IP of the wireless connection. What determines what IP
gets associated first with the name of the laptop. I would like the
LAN connection to be the preferred connection.

thanks

Do not have both connected simultaneosly, before turnning the Wireless NIC
off, run this in a cmd prompt: ipconfig /release this should make the
computer remove the Wireless NIC's DNS registration.

BINDING order which is partly due to which is installed first but can
be manual adjusted, but the truth is you shouldn't put more than one
NIC on the same network (broadcast domain) and seldom need to
put two NICs on different nets (inter-connnected through other routers)
unless the machine itself is a router.

we are testing using a Multihomed PC for redundatnt purposes, one LAN
connection , one Wireless. The theory is if the LAN connection goes
down(switch failure) then the wireless would kick in.

Then bridge the two NICs in network connections. Then the two NICs will act
as one.
