Two network devices, working together?

    I've got one Linksys WRT54G, and an integrated Ethernet on an MSI Intel® 945P motherboard, with Windows XP.

    The problem I'm having is that I cant have the Ethernet card enabled at the same time as the Linksys wireless, or else all network data seems to go through it instead of the wireless card. This means that the Internet, which comes from a router connected to the Linksys card, becomes inaccessible until the Ethernet device is disabled.

    Oddly enough, on the odd-occassion, if I ran the Windows networking wizard, it would allow me to use both temporarily. But thats stopped working now.

    would i be correct in saying bridge the 2 connections so that the internet can pass through the ethernet as well and vice versa

    You could manually manipulate your routing tables to get this to work. Open a CLI, then type 'route' and enter to see the options.
