Multi homing is a networking timesaver
Authored by: Jaharmi on Sep 05, '06 10:59:15AM

This may happen if you try to use an application before the routing tables are updated. In my informal testing, I give about 10 sec before I attempt to use any connections for new traffic after I do something that affects an interface -- such as plug in or remove my Ethernet cable. This is on a PowerBook G4 17-inch 1.33 GHz system with Mac OS X 10.4.7, but YMMV.

You can check your routes by using "netstat -r" at the command line in Terminal. The "default" one is the one that should be used for your new traffic.
