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.
