WLAN troubles

[nickd]

I've experienced the same thing as the OP. Running Windows as my hosts 
means it's a pain to set it up as a router, so I connect via Wifi and 
use it for everything. My solution is to put the following in my 
/etc/network/interfaces under eth0:

up route del default gw 192.168.0.200

This will remove your computer as the default gateway and use the 
wireless one when the interface is brought up. Sometimes it fails so 
I've had to put it in twice (yet to look into this).
