1. Dual NIC Question (wlan/lan)
Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
So when finally manage to get around to get the wireless part to work and as well getting drivers for the BroadCom 4401 NICs - one should be happy - and I am

But, has anyone a solution how to get two NIC's running against the same IP and running as well on the same time? Meaning, when I don't want to use the the wireless or are at home and have the need to download large files >100mb - is there any simple way to switch betwen what NIC to be used - except having to change the protocol order within MPTS?

Assuming static IP addresses and lan/wlan as first/2nd card in mpts, write two short command files similar like that:

lan_to_wlan.cmd :
---
ifconfig lan0 delete
route delete default
ifconfig lan1 192.168.1.3
route add default 192.168.1.254

wlan_to_lan.cmd
---
ifconfig lan1 delete
route delete default
ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.3
route add default 192.168.1.254

Or use two "SETUP.CMD"(uniquely named - of course) files generated by "TCPCFG2" each enabling just one of the NICs. This will have the same affect as Robert_Ls' suggestion, but also allows you to use DHCP.
