I have run into this problem before. What you need is an applciation
that will allow you to run both adapters at once. The applcaition is
called IP on the FLY. It is designed to toggle between your wiress
card and lan card based on your lan connectivity. So if you lan card
has a network connection IP on the Fly will disable your wireless card
eliminating any conflicts and once the lan connection is dropped the
wireless is re-enabled. If a coll product and I use it on all my
laptops were I have a wiress and lan Nic. You can find IP on the Fly

Simply right-click that device in Network Connections and select Disable. Restart the machine (although it may kick the network in automatically) and you should be good to go.

It is not showing any bridged connections on the Tablet in Network Connections, when I look at my Desktop Network Connections I see a Bridge-MAC Bridge Miniport.

My brother-in-law said he has had to renew my IP address to get the
ethernet connection working again. I've read bits and pieces about
static IP addresses, is that what I need for my ethernet connection?
