I have a problem I haven't been able to find the solution to:

When I connect a cat5 cable to my laptop the wireless connection stops working. It seems like the computer thinks that when a cable is connected, this is the primary connection. But I want to be able to use internet on wireless and my printer through cable... now I can not use them at the same time...anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks.
