Hi Hon-Kie,

Looks to me like

1) your have configured loncapa to look for IP is 128.X.X.X  when
   connecting to yourself

2) your routing table says to look for 128.X.X.* on eth0

So when you pull out the ethernet cable it isn't suprising that it has
trouble finding it.

if you get it to look for things on 127.0.0.1 it will work better

1) make this the first entry in /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1    whatever.the.hostname.is

2) change your hosts.tab to have look for IP 127.0.0.1

3) restart services and it should be good to go.



As for wireless cards on Linux, I have never tried to use one myself.
