Hi Scott, I used to use this method of turning AirPort off under Tiger, and would automatically get switched to Ethernet, but after migrating to Leopard (and a MacBook), when I switch off AirPort and change over to Ethernet I can't automatically get a connection. Wonder if this is because I set this up as a fixed IP address? It used to work for me, but now I have to force the connection to go through by changing from AirPort to Ethernet when I get the diagnostic prompt.
