To repeat what Dan said with slightly different wording... check
your routing here:

  /sbin/route -n

(and check that above, "when eth0 is up and eth1 is down").

I'll bet that the "Linux box" default route has moved from
"AT&T modem/router" to "my router", and now things that the
InterTubes are now to be found that way.

(I skip the rest for when we have some more light on the
above part -- bumping one's head on a Gateway Goblin is no
fun ;-)
