Can somebody please help me combine speeds from 2 networks! :(

Hi all... Kind of a strange question, but I need help As soon as possible..

 

I am using XP, SP2..

 

I have _2_ seperate networking devices enabled, one is a wired ethernet port

which has network 1 into it, and I also have a wireless card that is

connected to an entirely seperate modem/network within close range.. Right

now, the way I am telling windows which device to send/receive on is by

typing:

 

route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 metric 1

 

In turn, this will force all my internet traffic through the 192.168.2.1

network instead of the 192.168.1.1 net, but while leaving the 192.168.1.1

network available internally...

 

The problem is, I want to utilize BOTH bandwidths simultaneously.. Someone

on IRC said it can defintely be done with some commands or settings in XP ,

and its called "Bridging" or something but then he had to leave and I am

stuck here.. I want to combine upload speeds from both when I am uploading..

Like my 192.168.2.x network gives me 240kb/s upload, but then theres a

completely un-utilized 90kb/s upload on my 192.168.1.x network that I want to

make use of!

 

Can someone please help me out, sorry for the confusing explaination..

 

THANKS ALOT in advance! :-)

Hi hive,

 

Perhaps this is what you're looking to do:

 

XP ICS - Network Bridge
