I haven't done the seond profile option yet, will try that later but I 
wanted  to verify some things first.
The tcpip configuration program only has lan0 enabled.
Mpts though has tcpip on lan0 under the Innotek virtual switch and it is 
set to my linksys wired card.
Mpts also has tcpip on Lan7 on my cisco wireless card. 
The widget never goes green unless I do the switching I have referred to 
... it starts on lan0 I switch to lan1 and then back to lan0. 
I will try the second profile later today.
