How to utilize 2 connections on one computer

[inveterate]

Finally got internet in my room
I've got a regular gigabyte ethernet on my MOBO that i'm using right now. I just got a wireless internet card from my local library "not stolen". Is it possible to split my internet so that I could download on one connection, and use the other to surf the web???

On a regular computer system a single Internet connection can be associated with one card.

Use two instances of I.E one for download and one for surfing.

Actually it is Not clear what is on your mind, if you think that you would get more bandwidth this way? Nah!

I actually Have 2 connections, 2 different paid for IPs from the cable company... SO i was just thinking if i can utilize both from the same comp...

You can utilize them this way: Combining two Internet Connections - Combining Bandwidth, or and Load Balancing of two Internet connections.

However check with your ISP if the two paid IPs means more bandwidth, otherwise you are wasting your money. Usually the two IPS are for ?Poor Souls? that did not hear about Routers, and it does not provide extra Bandwidth.

that just sounds like a waste of money. cancel one of the subscriptions and do your downloading and web browsing on one ISP.
