You have both interfaces up, you probably do not want that.  You almost
certainly want to take down the interface that you aren't using.  If you
are using the Network Manager applet (ISTR that you were using
NetworkManager), you can right click on it and un-check "Enable Wireless"
to get rid of the wireless when you are using wired.  Then re-enable it
when you want to use it again.

Try that and see if that makes it work how you would like.
