ADSL and Cable Internet at Once?

[Peridium]

Is it possible to use both connections on one computer? I know that you'd at least have to have 2 network cards installed, but would it be possible? If so, does anybody know how to setup this kind of configuration?

Just have two nic cards connected, with each of them connected to their respective modems. Windows won't &quot;combine&quot; the two of them, so you really won't get faster than the fastest link.

There is a software way to combinethem. Someone asked here a few weeks ago. Maybe they found an answer? I told them to go ask at hardforum.com, because I KNOW some people there use a similar setup.

Really? That's cool...at least I know it's possible now.

So has anybody in this forum done it before or knows how to? Any information would be great!

There are programs to bind them, but I'm not sure what they are. Windows XP is supposed to have it built in.

Damn, you are one greedy SOB. How much freaking bandwidth do you need?? Are you going to create your own ISP for the neighborhood??

Yes, I am still on a dial-up connection because there is still no #$%@*!&amp; broadband in my area.

My suggestion is that you take your two network cards, and instead of putting them in the computer, take them both and shove them...

I'm ok now... Never mind.

Have you taken the medicine yet?

i've set this up on a customers computer...i just used the indentity feature of W2K to switch users(each had a broadband connection) after i had done it that way i found a way to get it working just by disabling that connection(thru network nieghborhood).


after the customer realized that the cable modem was on the order of 4-5 times faster then the DSL line.... he ditched the DSL.
