Maintaining best connection on WinXP Pro

[Ralph Sims]

That would be an option.  How would this work if I didn't know what my
connected networks were at any given time?  I could have a static ip on the
Ethernet NIC, a dynamic one on the 802.11 card and a different one assigned
via PPP on the evdo card. If I move from one location to another the
available (and hence connected) networks change.  

I would think that there's something out there that monitors the interfaces
and automagically selects the most "appropriate" one.

As Ken suggested http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894564/en-us has some
useful information.  However, the dialup connection offered by the evdo card
(my old 1xRTT card didn't use PPP and this was less of a problem) seems to
take precedence over the onboard NICs; I don't see any way to
"de-prioritize" the evdo  connection
