Ok, hears the deal. I have two computers. Both are connected to my wireless router using wireless dongles. My main computer (not the one with the problem) has a PCI wireless card, and is connected to an active switch via an ethernet cable. My second computer (one with the problem) is on XP, and is connected wirelessly with a USB dongle, and is connected to the same switch with an ethernet cable. The switch is simply to connect the two computers, it has no internet access, and I'm just using it for FTP. The FTP works fine and dandy, no problems there. The problem arises when I try to connect to the internet on a web browser. Steam can update games just fine, but when I try to browse any internet page, I can't connect. I just get a "Server not found" message. I believe it is trying to connect through the wired connection, which of course has no internet access. Is there any way to force firefox to use my wireless connection? I don't want to constantly have to plug/unplug the ethernet cable, it's just a nuisance. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
