Combine 2 internet connections on Vista PC

Hi. My Windows Vista PC is connected to 2 different networks. One wired and
the other one wireless. Both of them have internet. Both of them are
connected but the slower one (wireless) sometimes says "Local Only", but when
I disable the wired one, the wireless says "Local And Internet" and I still
have internet then like it's supposed. Is there a way (configuration in
windows or any software) to combine the 2 connections, so I get a higher
bandwidth or it shares them or uses both in any kind of way. Maybe load
balancing? Now it's only using the wired one all the time. And I want to use
the wireless also. Combine them or something that both will be used equally
and at the same time. Thanks everyone.

Have you setup two gateways on you computer? Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.
