I "guess" the the 2 default gateways are based around the 2 interfaces. I 
could be wrong of course. However neither ethernet nor wireless interface it 
seems can reach the net or even the modem itself

I have 6 other systems on the network that can access it fine. Just that one 
laptop. I didn't make any changes to the network config so all I can think of 
is some glitch re the hardware. I even tried loading the prev kernel and no 
difference. I accessed the modems settings via this pc and can't see anything 
that should block the other laptop so I'm at a loss apart from thinking some 
file re my connections settings got screwed somehow?
