    I have an SR190 CTO, and got the accompanying docking station, which has an ethernet cable plugged into it from the router. When I plug in the laptop, the laptop stays connected via the wireless and doesn't use the ethernet connection.

    If I then disable the wireless connection (have to do it through windows, otherwise it turns BT off and my keyboard/mouse don't work), it switches to the ethernet.

    What I want to do is have my computer either automatically use only the ethernet connection when I dock the laptop, or automatically disable the wireless connection when I dock. I would think the former would be easier, so if anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated.
