We have a Cellular laptop we have at a customers site we're wanting to connect to the local network to have our PLC email logs. We've not been able to get the two connections to work together in Windows 10 pro. Can it work in Windows 11 or does someone have a solution where we can get it to work?

Hi MichaelUsry-8672,
try Ironpossum's solution in the following thread if it works for you too:

Here's the issue with 'Sharing' though, as soon as the Ethernet cable is plugged in, the Cellular network quits working.
Hard to say what that means? Are you using a second wired or wireless adapter?
We have to use Cellular to get to the internet on this client support laptop. We have connected a USB to Ethernet to connect to the local network so the PLC can use to email log files each night. When the ethernet cable is attached the Cellular connection drops. Everything I've found online say it's how Windows is designed. I'm trying to find a fix, or workaround if possible.

You didn't say how the cell connects to laptop. Maybe something like this
Sorry, I've been busy. It's a SIM card we installed into the laptop. Onsite engineer said sharing didn't work but I'm gonna look at it again.
We have a USB to Ethernet adapter on the laptop. The Mobile Hotspot does not give us an Ethernet option to do this.
Might check with the device manufacturer for a firmware and or driver update.
