Hi,
I can not use local network(LAN) and Wireless Network(WLAN) in my elitebook 8460p at the same time. Both are configured well. The sequence is that, when I connect official local network cable in the laptop, existing using wireless network automatically becomes disabled. if i unplug local network, WLAN connects to network automatically. Why this is happening, I don't know. Please, help me.
info:
* windows 7 professional 64 bit.
* Though I press wlan-key again and again connecting both LAN and WLAN, it does not work, and automatically reconnects if network cable is unplugged.
I know it is not OS related issue. I know well about network configuration. This is the first case and only applicable to this model(elitebook 8460p). If there is any BIOS related issue, please help me. I have sketched, but not found.
help me, please.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi:
There is a setting in the BIOS called LAN/WLAN Switching.
The setting is enabled by default.
If you want to have the wireless and ethernet working at the same time, go into the BIOS, find and disable the LAN/WLAN switching setting, save the change and exit the BIOS.
