Are you running with both interfaces on all the time? You could turn off the other, ifdown eth1 or ifdown eth0 as needed. > > other info > Kernel 2.4.20 > eth0 = built-in ethernet port > eth1 = wireless(3com office connect with xjack) > Otherwise, if I understand correctly what you want, you can set default route to go to Ethernet. See what netstat -rn shows and change with the route command. You can also look in /etc/network/interfaces, read man 5 interfaces to set it so that Ethernet is used when it is on. I should think it is set up this way automatically unless you run both interfaces at the same time and wireless is set up after Ethernet, so default route goes to wireless. -- Tapio Lehtonen Tapio.Lehtonen@IKI.FI GPG public key from http://www.iki.fi/Tapio.Lehtonen
