utilizing two internet connection bandwidth simultaneously

mamnun · 06-12-2007, 10:03 AM

I am trying a new internet connection from another ISP. Now i have two network card and two internet connection through these lan cards. Now i want to utilize both of them. For example if i could use both connections' bandwidth at the same time i could download files faster. Currently when i download anything, only one connection is being used. How can I use both?
Do i need to use any software(proxy or...) or need to tweak anything?

Thanx in advance.

You won't get a connection to a single site on two separate connections under any scenario. If you invest in a dual-WAN router, you can use the two in a load-balancing configuration.
