First, open the property sheet on "My Network Places" (right click on the icon and select Properties)

Now, right click on the wireless NIC and select "Disable".

Ensure the onboard NIC is enabled (right click and select "Enable" if it's disabled right).

reread the messsage. It is making a statement and then gives you the option to proceed. Do so.

I run wired and wireless on a laptop but I connect to the same router using the same static assigned ip to both interfaces.

You will get this informative message even with a nic disabled when doing your ip assignment for the first time.
