I have ways to connect to the internet, via the local area connection cable which connects to the model (100mbps) and wireless (50mpbs). If I connect to both, which I am capable of doing, will I get the combined connection spped?

In a word, no. In fact, it would probably confuse the PC and cause it to run slower. It would have to stop every time it needs to send a packet and determine which connection to use.

Ok, not to get things confused here Broadband, Dial-up, DSL, etc are categories for Internet services. LAN and WAN are network connections. A LAN(Local area connection) Pertains to a series of machines and routers, etc in a single building for example and a WAN(Wide Area Network) would be like businesses and multiple computers connected within a region. As far as your Internet goes Dial-up would be if you plug a phone cord into your modem on your computer. Cable/DSL usually comes from a wireless connection through your cable provider and then broadband usually is provided via your phone company. This would be how to determine your Internet service. Good luck and hope this helps.

Since internet connections usually max out at about 7 Megabits per second, this is usually a moot point. However, if you share a wireless connection with 20 other people, then connecting to the 100Mbps LAN would be smart. Otherwise, there is no need to try to use both connection technologies.

AFAIK, the short answer is no. I know that in college dorms, there are students who can get "wired" and "wireless" connections. The laptop will just default to one or the other. That's not to say you cant find some third part application and use it to "assign" an internet connection to certain apps. I know it'd be really cool if i could use the LAN for gaming, and wireless for regular browsing :)

If you connect to the internet via wireless connection, then that is your Local area network/connection...They are one in the same, they are not two different connections...

No, you'll get each connection separately, the PC will perform 2 simultaneous connections, altough I don't know if you can use your same user and password for Internet acces at the same time.

no dear dont feel very exited because both the Internet connections connects your machine to Internet through different servers and since there is no means to synchronize these two servers so u cannot get the combined speed. its better to take one connection with high speed rather taking two connections with low speed ....................
so keep surfing .Best of luck

No, your computer will use one or the other, you need to tell it which one to use (specify it as the default in windows and your web browser)
