The problem I have is that the OS doesn't know to switch, both get an IP address but won't switch the routing from eth0 to eth1 (or vice versa). So I have to manually shut down the adaptor I'm not using and restart the other which is a little annoying as my fellow co-workers using the same laptops but with Windows don't have this problem as it knows to use what ever network is available?
In theory you can take down one or the other adapter via: ifdown-dhcp eth0 for example. If eth1 is still up, it should take over as the default route. i think that would do the trick. When you want eth0 back up: ifup-dhcp eth0 In theory. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts
