Re: Wireless and wired simultaneously?
I was using this setup also on XP and I found that I *had* to set the default gateway explicitly. When I used the wired connection to 10.*.*.6 XP was creating a default gateway on that domain and I lost connection to the internet on my wireless. I added explicit default gateways for both the 10.* (the laptop itself) and 192.168.* (the wireless router) and life was good again.

If you have problems you can use either 'netstat -r' or 'route print' to see what your default gateway was before and explicitly add it to your wireless TCP/IP settings.
