[Help] How to access wireless network


Recommended Posts

Posted

At work, I have a secured network connection for my work applications. This one has no internet access.

However, work provides a wireless unsecured access for all. When I install my wireless USB, it connects to the wireless network. However, I can't access internet.

If I enable internet connection sharing from the wireless, I lose connectivity for my work application trough work network. If I enable work, then I lose the other.

Is there a way to have both enable, which internet access from wireless and work application enabled through the other?

Running off of windows 2000 sp4.

network adapter is gigabit - using it's own wireless connection application.

(BTW - The work access is secured so I can't access from wireless network).

Thanks.

edit: tag corrected, How to is for guide/solution.

I don't really understand the configuration, make a schema if possible.

If you have two networks, one with internet and the other without, you can connect both and access internet without problem.

Windows access internet by the gateway (to view the used default gateway type in a cmd: 'route print' (this is the last line)

Shared connection is only required if you have an modem connected directly to your Windows and you want to share it with others ...

Hope this picture helps in what I'm trying to describe. The Local Area Network (LAN) is my work network that is not wireless but wired. It gives my work applications connectivity to other computer that my applications communicate with. Without that connection, I can't do nothing. Internet access requires password.

The other one Local Area Network 2 (LAN2) is the wireless connection that is wide open with Internet. No password required.

However, all apps try to access internet through the wired connection. If I enable Internet through LAN2, it disables LAN so my work apps don't work.

And here is how I enable the wireless network, which disables my work LAN connections.
