If your interfaces are on different subnets, then any connections you make on one interface will stay on that interface for the duration of that connection. I would expect that when you plug back to the LAN, any new connections you make would go through your LAN port. You need to have the same IP address on both interfaces for existing connections to move between interfaces.

When I plug back to the LAN, all my connections revert back to the LAN interface. I verified this by checking the ARP table on my server ('arp -a'). The ARP entry for my laptop changes back to my wired interface's MAC address and there is no ARP entry for my wireless interface.

I set this up over the weekend and it works FLAWLESSLY!!! I can't believe how cool this is. In fact, as a test I was downloading the 10.3.5 update. With the LAN plugged in I was getting 1.1MB/sec, I unplugged the LAN and the speed dropped to 300Kb/sec, then I plugged it back in and right back to 1.1MB again, and the download never even paused! This one belongs in version 2 of the book. [Comic Book Guy]Best...hint...EVER![/Comic Book Guy]
