2 Networks one PC...

S

Shinda

I know this question may seem odd, but say I got two different internet
providers, one DSL and another Cable. Each is configured through a
router and shares its own connection normally.

Now at any time I can connect to a single network no problem. (The DSL
is accessible via wireless and the Cable I can connect directly too
with a normal wired ethernet connection).

Is there anyway that I can connect to both the wireless and wired
connections at the same time, and have my computer split the bandwidth
between both networks?

I'm sure that this can be done, just not sure if there's a known way
to do it, or not, ie via third party software, or even hidden settings.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I think windows cannot do that....
There were some programs that attempted to do this but they were not
good... at least this was the case last time I checked. Perhaps you can
use google to look for a software that can. But through windows settings you
cannot.

perhaps linux can combine 2 bandwidths... but I have never done that
