I have a laptop which runs windows vista and The laptop can either connect to my network using a standard utp cable or using the wifi connection.

Currently it is using the wifi connection automatically if available.I want to change the priority of my network adapters.

Location independent workers routinely connect via WiFi or 3G when roaming around the country, however when you come into the office you won’t necessarily be connected by the fastest means possible.

If you want to Change Network adapter priority in Vista follow these steps

Go to Start –>Network

Now you need to select the network and sharing center

Click manage network connections

Now you need to press Alt button on your keyboard to appear the advanced menu from here select advanced settings

Now you can select network connection and move up or down

That’s it enjoy your choice of network connection.

Windows 7 is really tricky on this.

Type binding in help and you will be guided to the hidden feature.

Windows 7 instructions are exactly the same as the above except instead of “manage network connections” you click “change adapter settings”

Everything else is identical

Drop down the “Organize” button,
scroll down to “Layout” and select the “Menu Bar”. This will give the
familiar options you’re used to seeing in XP. Click “Advanced” on the menu
bar, and select “Advanced Settings”.
