is it possible to be hooked up to both a wired LAN and wireless LAN at the same time and to have windows xp set up so the internet is accessed through the wireless side?

Right now it seems as though whenever the wired network is plugged in (which has no Internet connection, it just connects some printers) the computer always looks to the wired connection for internet and fails, when in fact, the only internet is on the wireless side. Can this be changed so the wireless network takes a higher priority when the wired network is plugged in?

thanks in advance for any help!!

Just set your wired LAN to a private address, ie 192.168.x.x, and put in a dummy DNS address so it doesnt reach the internet.
