How do I enable a wired connection, from a wireless connection?

Question

How do I enable my wired connection and disable my wireless connection? I have Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and a 2Wire internet router.

I've plugged it in. I go to my control panel and go to Network Connections, but when I click on the Wired connection, it says I'm running at 400MB per second. I also have the wireless connection disabled to see if that does the trick, but it doesn't.

So, the wired connection says I'm running at 400MB p/s even though I've only plugged it in. Is there something I have to enable?

Answer 1

Goto your control panel and click on Network Connections.

To enable or disable a connection right click on the desired connection and select enable or disable.

Then plug a ethernet cable into your computers ethernet port and the other end into your routers ethernet port.

That should do it.

Answer 2

just plug in the ethernet connection to your computer from your router, it will override the wireless connection....you may have to reboot the system
