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:
