Hello,

i have problem to configure my network
i have a desktop with MSI motherboard have two ethernet with XP OS and i installed wireless card for my wirless enternet for my linksys wireless modem.

the wirless is ok with me and working fine, but i have issues when i want to connect my desktop with my brother desktop wire network.

i already configure the IP adress for both computers and it was connected but when i want to open the other computer to see the sharing files that i already shared it wont open and i noticed it use the wireless network for searching not the ethernet that i already connected it with the other computer.

but in the end it manage to open the other computer from the wirless network (the other desktop have also wireless) not from the wire network.
can i set the builtin ethernet as the default to open the other computer.

please help me in this i dont know what to do and i searched alot but unable to find a solution for this.

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 8.0
