Outlook 2007 - multiple connections question

I have a user on WinXP, a wireless connection from one part of town, and a local wireless connection for another application...and email.

He has Outlook 2007, and can only send/receive when I disable the wired connection...to force it to use the wireless.

I have spent hours trying to set it up so that Outlook uses the wireless connection by default instead of the wired, but am unable.

Does anyone know if there is a setting I missed or a workaround for this problem?

Are the two connection through different ISP's that use different POP and SMTP account settings?

Its an exchange server I need to get to from the wireless, and yes diff ISP's.

I was hoping to have a more elegant solution than having the user disconnect from the wired to check email.

I'm almost a little confussed but will post this example and let you do the conversion:

I'm current sitting in my office which is a different ISP then my home account. But, I have both accounts setup.

Business Email Account
Office Pop3
Office SMTP

Home Email Account
Home POP3
Office SMTP

Most ISP will let you receive mail from a different account but not send mail to prevent "spoofing."

Maybe this will help.

Thanks for thinking about it...Since its an exchange server, I dont think I can do that.
