How about this to switch between NICS:
route del -net default gw
route add default gw <ip of DSL or Cable>
If you're starting out with two default gateways (check with 'route -n') you
just need to get rid of one:
route del -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw <ip>
...unless I misunderstood the problem, which is highly possible..
