Mixing 2 wired internet connection in Win XP?
I have 2 wired internet connection plugged in 2 network card in my laptop, let's say the 1st connection has IP 192.168.1.x with subnet 255.255.255.0 (this connection has max bandwidth 384 KBps) and the second connection has IP 192.168.2.x with subnet 255.255.255.0 (and this one has max bandwith 512 KBps), how to mix these 2 connections, so I can get 384 +512 KBps = 896 KBps total bandwith?
I use win XP SP2. Any help will be appreciated. For additional considerations, I have done it successfully with 2 dial up modems using win 2k pro Ads |

Unfortunately, as far as I know, you can't double-dip like that with internet connections with Windows or any other OS.
Interesting idea though. Ads |

I am pretty sure that this is not possible. Internet cannot be split over two connections from a single computer. With a high end router you could connect both links and use load balancing to split the connection.

What you are trying to do is called load balancing. Here's what I found:
"If you have multiple network adapters in a server and you want to make sure that the network load is balanced across the available nics, you can use the following Windows NT / Windows 2000 / Windows XP registry hack. This will insure that opened sessions are balanced between the adapters. Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\NetBT\Parameters Name: RandomAdapter Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 enable" - from WindowsNetworking.com Good luck! |
