Sam, as I recall, you were using static IP for the Wi-Fi connection, correct? In this case, you shouldn't need Neil's script, as that simply swaps the DHCP interface from LAN0 to LAN1. In your case, one or both of your interfaces are set to static IP, so you should be good to go with both interfaces configured (just not with the same address, as that is usually used for fault tolerant configurations).
   

Lewis, Since you brought up the Cmd files to switch the DHCP between
interfaces, I'd like to revisit the subject.  I just returned from a
trip where I had easy access to both a wired and wireless connection. All attempts to use commands distributed here a while back to switch
the interface failed.

Just so we're all starting from the same place, here are the specifics
of my configuration and the command files:

So, what am I doing wrong?
