    Again I ask - you have two ethernet (CAT 5) connectors on your box?
    If you have this setup it's as if you have a firewall or are running a router. Most boxes will have one ethernet connection. if you then plug in a USB ethernet adapter (or WiFi) the setup wizard usually asks to disable one. Most applications can't handle multiple routes to the interweb

    Isn't it just 2 ports, 1 x 100MB & 1 GB?

    Well - d'oh on my part I just googled the box and I see it does have two ethernet ports, although one is for VLAN. I would presume the image builds would take this into account although I would think that most enigma software would assume (presume?) one ethernet adapter. I'll bail out at this stage and let someone more familiar with this beastie chip in!

    It is, but how would the various plugins know which port to use?

    The route to another network (including the default route) will determine this based upon the destination IP address. Applications don't need to know which interface to use (although they are free to set it - but only things like diagnostic tools would do that). You've always got at least two interfaces anyway, as you'll always have a localhost, and that causes no problems.

    On my (Linux) laptop the Wifi interfaces will be connected to my wireless network when I'm at home - but if I'm using it next to my router then I plug in the spare Ethernet cable. This activates (so I now have two interfaces on the same network with different addresses) and takes over the default route. When I unplug the Ethernet cable it all reverts. It works fine. (The laptop also runs MSWindows - but I've never really looked at what happens there).

    Two Ethernet connectors would be slightly different, but the same principle still obtains. I suspect (but don't know) that the last one to be configured would get the default route.

    I sold my box at the start of the year, but if memory is correct and they haven't fixed Enigma then,,,,,,,
    This box can be tricky with the 2 LAN connectors for a couch flash update with settings restore - will often not be able to find plugins as cannot workout LAN connection. So having backed up your working settings...
    1) either have 2 ethernet connections - and the restore of settings and plugins works clean
    or
    2) allow settings restore (no plugins), reboot and then restore settings with plugins. 1st restore setups up the correct single LAN connection, the second now you have have a LAN connection allows plugins to be restored.

    Having two ethernet paths requires the box subsystems to be routing aware. That is what I meant. There are probably plugins to set up the separate paths out of the box, but I don't think the standard image facilities allow this. It's inclined to throw a wobbler when you have an cabled and WiFi connection active simultaneously. I presume Xtrend would have some drivers/plugins that you have to use.

    But the only thing which is going to be doing any IP traffic is the Linux kernel itself, and it is routing-aware. There might be an issue if the two Ethernet ports were onto two different networks, only one of which went the the Internet - the issue there being whether the configuration screens allowed you to set up the default (gateway) address to be the same for both interfaces, even if they are on different networks (i.e. one set-up would "look" wrong).
