Cannot use cell-c 3g network dongle and normal eth0 network at the same time.

Log a bug. Natty is not ready and not stable so you will get things like this happening.

Yes, by reporting bugs you can help Natty to improve in quality. Before reporting any bugs, however, you should read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs carefully. Then after searching for existing bug reports describing your situation, you can report this bug by running ubuntu-bug with the PID of the currently running instance of NetworkManager. (That will make sense after you read that page.) After you report the bug, you can link this question and the bug to each other with the "Link existing bug" link near the top of this page. However, your bug report should still be complete and self-contained--it should not be necessary for the Ubuntu developers to refer to this question in order to fully understand and appreciate your bug report.

If your wired network doesn't provide internet access, you should try to edit the connection's settings and check the checkbox "Use this connection only for the resources on its network", under the connection's settings, in the IPv4 tab, in the dialog that shows when you click the "Routes" button.

Hi,

This did not have any effect. I still have the same issue. I have no
idea what to search for or where to look, as I only have had this
issue with 11.04, and no previous version. If you could point me in
the right direction?
I still feel this is a bug, as the OS should test whichever gives a
internet connection, as in previous versions? Or has the
implementation been changed moving to 11.04?

Regards
Ruaan

You should tell us more about your system. What is the output of the 'ip route list' command when both the wired network and the dongle are connected?

Wired, when connected, should always be preferred over a 3G dongle, for the simple reason that 3G usually costs you while wired doesn't.

As for testing, we can't test for internet access because what to test changes vastly between systems, environments, and locations. It's not sustainable, and you're always at the risk of whatever you're testing being down for any possible reason, which would show *your* connection as down when in fact it's working.

Okay that makes sense. I will post more information on my system asap.

Thanks Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre, that solved my question.

I removed all my connections, redid them with the "use this connection only for the resources on its network", and now the 3g works.

Thanks for the help.

So now it works
