Rabbit01: of course he used the SSID; just look at the WiFi IP address - - he is actually connected
Scooney: in the Wired case you
actually have BOTH connections; wired and WiFi:

When we have BOTH a wired NIC and a WiFi adaptor,
you need to disable the one that is NOT being used .
Typically, View Network Connections and then right-click->Disble.
With both adaptors making a connection, your routing tables will be a mess AND
there's a total waste of one of the connections - - all traffic will be thru only ONE.
Let's work on getting the Wired config working first, so go disable the WiFi adaptor,
reboot, and the get me the routing table;
start -> run-> cmd
route print
copy/past the whole thing in your follow-up...
