Hi, i've got access to two internet connections at home one wireless(public) and one of my own wired. Is it possible to use both on my pc or will the pc select one over another? Would like one dedicated to filesharing and the other for surfing and such. Is it possible to use them simultaneously?

You can only use one at a time. Windows will pick the first one it finds and use that exclusively. If you want to use the other you would first have to disable the first, forcing Windows to go and look for another Internet connection.
