Access Connections + Simultaneous Wireless and Wired

#1 Post by mashimus » Mon Aug 25, 2008 9:51 pm

Hi All,

I searched everywhere and could not find an answer to this. To the people using Access Connections on their Thinkpads, is there anyway to create a profile that uses both your wireless and wired connection simultaneously?

Right now, it's either one or the other, but not at the same time...! hmmmm... am I missing something here...

Thanks!

I don't think you can apply both Ethernet and Wifi settings in a single profile, but you can overlay them.... Apply a wireless profile, and then apply a wired one. The trick is setting them to NOT disconnect when applying the second one. Here's how:
Access Connections>Locations>Manage Profiles

Select each profile>Edit...
UNcheck "Disconnect from the network when switching to a different location"

Do this for all the profiles you want to overlay.
