How to increase network speed with multiple adapters

[jeeji]

Hi I have a network connection og 64 kbps through my network adapter.
Is it possible to increase that speed, if I add on my modem which gives
me a 33.6 kbps connection. That is, can I combine the two in some way.
I just tried, but the conncetion was not stable, and it was as if the
data only ran through modem.

I am running windows 2000 service pack 4

Thank you very much in advance

If you were talking about dial connections, then multilink
would allow you to do that with multiple modems, multiple
ISDN cards, or even a mixture.

IF you can find a way to use those connections in this way
then you can probably use multilink.

IF HOWEVER, you are trying to use ordinary NICs or the
equivalent you cannot really combine or take advantage
of them this way unless you have special drivers. (Teaming
NIC drivers.)

What are you trying to do? Ordinary NICs mixed with modems
or strictly RRAS modems etc?

Probably doesn't matter, since all of the above is true for
NT4<-->Win2003

Thanx for the answer

I am not sure I understand you terminology.
I have one dial up connection and one connection through a network
using a network card. The dial up connection gives me 33.6 kbps and
the network connection gives me 64/8 kbps download/upload. Does this
answer your question.

Thank you very much

RRAS and the client side (Dialup Connection) have the
multi-link capability.

I have never heard of a scheme to make a regular NIC
work with multi-link.
