2 internet connections

[sali05]

Hi guys i'm new here and i really need your help

I have 2 speedstream modems 5200 and 4200, both are connected to adsl under different users on 2 different phonelines, which both happen to be me, in the same house. Here's the problem, I only have 1 computer and i want to run both connections simultaneously for more bandwidth on this one computer. Can anyone help me?

You need a dual WAN router with load balancing, but you will not see as much benefit as you think.

You could also use two different network cards.

currently both are connected to my computer but only one is active.

1 is connected through the usb port
2 is connected through the ethernet port.

if both routers are on at the same time then only one connection responds. Anyway to just bridge the 2

Click on both, and then click bridge.
I don't think this works with internet connections, though, just networks.

I always thought that two NICs in one pc, to make both work they had to be on different subnets.

i dont see it as being practical to have two internet connections for the same system. just combine the price and spend it one one connection. you not gonna see much of any improvement the way your looking

1 is connected through the usb port
2 is connected through the ethernet port.

Try getting another ethernet card, and having both through ethernet.

2 nics have to be on seperate subnets, different segments of a network or different domains
