cg,
AFAIK, nope.
Only one TCP/IP stack, and only one connection to a Gateway therefor.
You can have multiple LANs, multiple subnets, and can control which one is
used for the Gateway connection, even though Windows will complain. I use
the 'feature' all the time to separate the Local Database Server from the
Internet, and vice versa.
But Windows will use the first Gateway it finds. The key to controlling it
is to separate subnets, hard-specify the un-desired (LAN) adapter's address,
while not specifying a Gateway and DNS, and then setup the other adapter on
a different subnet "normally" for the subnet the Internet access occurs on.
Sometimes DHCP will suffice, sometines you must manually specify everything.
You probably don't want to try this at home. It's a counter-intuitive set of
"not-nots". You will have to manually change multiple items on both sets of
Properties to switch connections.
Decide on one adapter, and disable/disconnect the other. Windows will then
adapt quite gracefully.

Is there any particular reason I shouldn't be able to logon two
wireless networks simultaneously?
