Networking Dell 4610X Wireless Plus Projector
I have configured the projector for wireless operation, and wireless operation alone works fine.
I have connected to my laptop the network cable. Alone- it works fine.
When I go to use the two together, my laptop wants to pick one or the other (the wireless projector or the computer network) and I can't use my computer to surf or access server files while I'm projecting wireless- which is why I bought it !!
I think the computer wants to only have one connected network at a time, but I need to be wireless with the projector and on my company network at the same time.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Several points:
I assume your wired ethernet cable connects to your home or work network, and you're also connecting the wireless NIC to the projector?
If that is the case, ensure that the network addressing scheme employed by the projector does not overlap with the one employed on your (wired) network...
Also, Windows doesn't like having multiple gateway addresses. I'd advise that you disable the gateway address on the projector's DHCP configuration (I assume this is possible, I haven't actually tried it myself).
Lastly, connect to the projector FIRST, then connect to your home network. This should have the effect of making your home-network settings override those from the projector inasmuch as your default gateway and default dns servers are concerned.
Windows XP, Vista, and 7 will all support mutliple nics on multiple networks, I'd assume it's a gateway/dns conflict between dhcp settings that's at the root of your problem.
Good luck!

You cannot and will not connect to two wireless networks at one time. In order to project and be on your private network at the same time, you will need to run a CAT5 from the projector into your router/switch. Then you can connect to the projector's wireless and also access your network through the projector...

A couple of points:
1) You're replying to a message that's a week shy of being TWO YEARS old
2) Your reply doesn't even address the question raised: NOT ONCE did the original questioner ask about connecting to two wireless networks, he SPECIFICALLY SAID he was wireless to the projector, and wired to the company network and was having difficulty accessing both networks simultaneously.
In any case, your response is hardly an "Answer" to the original poster's 103-week old question... :s
