I'm having a strange problem that I hope someone here can suggest some possible solutions to...
My laptop runs Vista 32-bit, SP2. I am trying to connect to two networks at the same time - one, a dial-up connection to the Internet, and the other a wireless connection to my router here at home. Both connections work fine if the other is not active. If I try to connect to both, the computer appears to connect to both networks, but I am unable to print to a print server on the wireless network as long as I am connected to the Internet via the dial-up connection. If I disconnect from the dial-up connection, then restart the wireless connection, I can connect to the print server just fine.
I do have a firewall installed (COMODO, v4.1), but I don't think it's a factor because even if I disable it, the problem does not go away.
I have read an article on Microsoft's site (http://preview.tinyurl.com/2d297or) about configuring default gateways only on the public connection (which in this case would be the dial-up connection), but I've tinkered with that and it didn't seem to help.
Can anyone else out there suggest something else I might try? This is bugging the hell out of me because it seems like it oughta just work.
