   Oh. I wasn't meaning that that was the *exact* issue in this case. It   
   was merely a nice swipe at Micro$oft.   
      
   Linux doesn't allow of more than one default route.   
      
   *However* routing with more than one interface active is complex,   
   especially if they connect to the *same* network.   
      
   If you have two interfaces active on the same network, which one is   
   going to be used to access that network?   
      
   I am not claiming this is the answer, just that it may be due some   
   consideration.

   I think some careful thought and experimentation may get you there quicker.
