All,
I am wondering how one PC with a wired and wireless connection can have the wired IP active as long as there is a connection then if the wired connection goes away to then automatically, go wireless, then if wired comes back alive go back to wired.
Is that kind of setup possible, if so how.
This unit is always on - I just want whichever network is active and faster to be the active connection. The IP addresses for wired would 192.168.1.10 and wireless 192.168.1.20. GW is 192.168.1.1.
Thanks,
Jerry
Jerry,
I thought this could be handled through the metric option to the route command, but now I'm not so sure. My test config was a little different than you proposed. My wireless is not on the same subnet as my wired.
Anyway, you might take a look at ifplugd.
