Guest hive Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 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! :-)
