Re: [BackupPC-users] NetBIOS name lookup - trouble with DHCP

[dan <dan...@gm...>]

if you are still able to ping the laptop at the wireless address then the
wireless just needs shut down.  after that you should be able to find the
machine on the new IP via nmblookup.

i know of no way to have a prefered address that is wired, and a fallback
address that is wireless.
