wireless + wired??

[sanjay_ankur]

hey all..

how do i connect to a wireless network while already working on a wired one..

Example situation..: am connected to the Internet on the wireless and simultaneously transferring data from another fedora laptop using a lan cable.. when i plugged the cable in it connected to a "new network" but my wireless stopped functioning..

windows could handle multiple networks simultaneously and im sure fedora can too..
I just dont know how to do it..

someone help please..

Regards,

Not really sure, but maybe Network Manager is trying to decide which network to use. I have several linux boxen connecting to multiple networks. At least two are Fedora. One is 6 and my laptop is 9.
