My HP Pavilion DV5000 has built-in WiFi which I connect to my wireless modem with no probs.
I bought a WiFi printer and a WiFi USB dongle so I could connect to the printer and internet at the same time, but it doesnt seem to be possible, anyone know a way of doing this?
The new dongle shows up as Wireless connection 2 but I cannot connect to both at the same time, its either or. please help!

Are you trying to get twice the internet speed with this setup?

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
