Wireless and wired simultaneously?

[leftylink]

Hello everyone,

Our team workspace has a wireless router connected to the internet, and while programming the robot we use an ethernet cable to connect a laptop to a different router connected to the robot.

One of my friends' laptops connects to the internet while in this setup, but mine does not; I surmise that my computer is attempting to connect to the internet through the robot network, which of course fails.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to control the routing of my network traffic and allow these two networks to work together?

If it helps, some info: My friend runs Vista, I run XP. My IP on the wired connection is statically set to 10.13.18.6, as expected. My IP on the wireless network is static as well: 10.1.18.176, and gateway 10.1.16.1 (I have confirmed this works perfectly if the wired network is not plugged in).

Any insight and pointers would be greatly appreciated; thank you.
