If I choose Work then I can connect to network shares however I have no Internet. Is there any way to get both at the same time?

I apologize if this has already been answered -- I couldn't think of the right thing to search for without getting a thousand hits.

I think internet should be chosen if you're at like Starbucks or something using a WAP. Work should be chosen if you're at home using a wireless router and want to stream media and be able to browse the shared drives (as well as get on-line).

If you check under the proxies tab for work, there is a checkbox for "use internet"...so you also browse the web.

I only got my X30 Thursday , so I could be wrong here...also checkout Silent Knights utility to turn off the X30's wifi power management...big help with mysterious dissaperance of connectivity (when everything is setup right and working one min, not the next)
