Internet Question

I have two ethernet ports which means I would have to have two network cards in my computer. My question is is it possible to connect both of those ethernet ports to a network and run a double the speed? Or if I connect both of the ethernet ports to the network my speed will remain the same?
 
I know you can have your computer use the NICs to stagger traffic (like RAID-0) outbound but I'm not sure about inbound. Or I think you could have one NIC for inbound traffic and one for outbound.
 
You won't see any real benefit on your home DSL or Cable connection.

However, the one practical use would be to restrict one port/card to your internal network for traffic like moving large files... If you do a lot of that... and leave the other one on your DSL/Cable.

Of course, you may require more hardware/cards for your other systems to set that up properly.

Have fun... and learn.
