Anything you can set on a windows xp laptop to force it use the LAN connection even if wireless is switched on?

Just delete the wireless entry for your network from the WLAN list, that way it won't automatically connect.

Hmm might work in some scenarios but some clients will want to still have wireless connectivity on site when away from LAN.
Must be a way of setting a default connection if both plugged in

Only other way I can think of apart from what John has suggested is to simply disable wireless manually when you want to use an ethernet connection.
But of course, that won't be an automatic way of achieving what you want.
