Friends
I have separate LAN & Internet connection.
When I use both the connection, my LAN doesnt work i.e., when i use Internet, I am not able to use LAN.
Kindly let me know the solution to use both connection simultaneously.

My crystal ball is broken and my ESP is on the fritz, so I guess you'll have to provide more info on your setup.
For starters, what type of Internet connection do you have, and how is your network setup? Do you need/want to share the Internet connection across the LAN? If you have a broadband connection, is the modem connected directly to a computer, or does it connect to a router? Is you modem a combo unit, meaning does it have a built-in router? If you don't have a router, do you have 2 network interfaces/cards in the computer that the modem connect to?

Fishmonger is right, you need to elaborate more on your setup.
It's just a total guess at this point without the additional information but it sounds like you may have two subnets. One that routes to the internet and the other that does not.
The grass may not be greener on the other side . . . but it just might have less weeds. :-D

Sorry, being a newbie, I didnt elaborated the information.
For Internet, I am using dail-up or sometimes Aircard (directly connected to my Laptop). I dont want to share the Internet connection across the LAN.
My LAN setup connects through routers.
When I connect to both LAN and Internet, I get 2 different IP Address for my system with different SUBNET Mask and different Default Gateway.
Kindly let me know, if any further information required.
Hope for your prompt solution.
Thanks
Praveen
