WTF is geekrouter?
What you describe has to be some issue with geekrouter since every machine in my network is running dual-NICs and none of them have any problem – I can access the IP address of either NIC without problem.
If geekrouter is a command-line tool, it may want a switch to tell it which interface to connect to. Many network tools operate like this, including the venerable ping and traceroute. In these cases they always use the default interface unless you add a switch with the appropriate interface to use, e.g.:
ping <host> — pings the specified host
ping -i en1 <host> — ping the host via en1
