Multiple Network Card looses internet connection.

[Rowan]

My internet connection frequently drops out.
If i go and change my wireless (internet) cards IP address by one number (ie 192.168.1.8 to 192.168.1.9) it fixes the problem.

Its like XP uses the most recently changed connection to access the gateway??

Can i set one Adapter to be the default?

What is the problem??

Setup.....

I have 3 network cards in my XP pro box.
1 wireless to adsl modem on 192.168.1.*** subnet
1 ethernet 10/100 card to networked Printer on 192.168.2.*** subnet
1 ethernet 10/100 card to nearby laptop on 192.168.1.** subnet

Gateway on all adapters is set to 192.168.1.1

Thanks
