Multiparty sounds great and all. But I'd be happy if they could make a laptop use both a hard-wired Ethernet and a wifi connection at the same time. Is it really that difficult?
Not for bandwidth, I work with embedded systems. If the wifi is active, then it's not possible to connect to an IP address on the Ethernet port (OS X and Win7). Subnet doesn't matter, and re-arranging the priorities of the network devices doesn't help either.
- eps 13y agoYou should read up on how routing works. In particular - source-based routing.
- knacky 13y agoIt may just be my laptop, but I was able to get both WiFi and Ethernet working on an HP Elitebook 8460p after toggling a setting in the BIOS.
- drakaal 13y agoYou can "shotgun" connections but hardwired and wifi usually isn't a win since the wifi will be more error prone and higher latency than the wired. So if you have both you should probably just do the wired.
- asynchronous13 13y agoLike I said, for embedded systems. The wired connection is not an active link to the internet.
