I just moved into a new apt building where are all the tenants are given 802.11g wireless acesss to the internet . I recently bought a laptop with built in wireless support. So my old PCMCIA wireless card was headed for the landfill when I suddenly thought that I can try to use both the connections at the same time. I know there is something called a network load balance built into windows servers which have to NIC cards. I am wondering if the same can be done on a wireless cards and through a registry hack in Win XP Home. I tried this Load Balance Network in Windows 2000/XP. But it didn't seem to work since there was only activity in only one connection.

Any suggestions ? It will pure nirvana for me if I can get both of them connect at the same time.

The only way you can load balance with wireless is if you have 2 APs on different channels with wireless. Even then you have to be able to control which AP you associate to with the wireless card and as far as I know there is no way to do that in Windows.
