Why is gnome binded to eth1?

Hi,

when I use the wireless connection (eth1) on my laptop, everything works
fine. But when I use the wired connection (eth0) some gnome programs
like evolution and epiphany start in offline-mode and have to been
switched to online-mode manually.

Is there any reason for this and how can I make them all work with both
NICs?

Regards,
Amir

PS: I have this problem with etch, sid and sid+exp.

How do you switch to eth0 ? Do you use network-manager for just wireless maybe
?

Nice, that was the solution. I always used nm for wireless connections
and disabled the control for wired connections. For those I used
ifplugd. After removing ifplugd and enabling wired connections for nm,
everything workes fine with the addition that I don't have the main
problem anymore.

Thx a lot!
Amir
