Re: What happens if there are two interfaces?

[Joseph Areeda <newsreply areeda com>]

I've been curious about this for a while.

The situation I find that occurs often is my laptop, which usually uses 
only the wireless connection.
It seems to figure out that when I plug it in it's better to use the 
wired connection but I'm never sure.

How does it decide?  And how can I know which one is being used?

Thanks,
Joe
