My laptop is connected via WiFi to internet. Moreover laptop is connected to PC via LAN in order to share documents.

It seems that there is no possibility to share documents and at the same time to be connected to internet.

If I swich on an internet connection sharing, sharing files is lost.
Option "turn off network discovery" (in change sharing options for different network profiles) does not work for me neither.

It seems that Windows 7 is a little stupid, because it cannot properly manage internet connection. When I am connected via wifi, internet works. Immediately after plug LAN cable into laptop, a connection is lost.
