Hello world!

I have Windows XP Pro.

I wonder if I could configure ONE computer to be connected to the Internet
both using ADSL and CABLE.
Of course,not simultanously.Just to have 2 Dial Up Connections (not
analog,but PPP virtual ones) and use them one after another.
ONE-PPTP (VPN) for Cable modem connection and SECOND-,say,PPPoATM for USB
ADSL modem connection.
I have a NIC and my cable modem is connected to it.It's LAN and I have
172.2X.X.X IP address from cable Co. at all times and when I want to connect
to the Internet I Dial to my ISP and get an external IP address from
it-80.179.X.X in my case...(each time it's different,naturally)-Open Access
type.
I have USB port and I can get a USB ADSL modem and use a PPPoA type of
connection with it.
And to use the same ISP (whether with the same or not account with it-it
doesn't matter here)...

The way I understand it-it should work OK...The unclear part is.....is it
the NIC or the modem that gets 172.X.X.X address? In Cable....Some ppl don't
have NIC's in their PC's...they use USB Cable modems...but they would still
have that 172.X.X.X address...so it's not the NIC,but the modem who gets
it....or am I wrong?

If I also have a USB ADSL modem,then that modem would get a 10.X.X.X IP
address from TELCO at all times


So the bottom line is....the way I get it....my Cable modem would constantly
have that 172.X.X.X address from Cable Co ( same as my NIC).AND my ADSL
modem would constantly have 10.X.X.X address from TELCO.
Whenever I use a Dial Up PPTP VPN adapter it would get a 80.179.X.X address
from my ISP and I would get on the Internet using cable infrustructure.Then

account with it (the ADSL one).

Hey!
You meant that your both modems share the same NIC so you switch?
It's all nice but to get to the ISP one has to DIAL to it here....It's not a
constant ON connection where you get your external IP address from Cable Co.
or TELCO...Here it doesn't work that way....I heard that in the US it's
otherwise..Well,here about 30% who are cable Internet users do use the
"american" system.
The bottom line is that you use both cable and ADSL Internet accesses on the
same PC,right?

[Dr. Indera]

hi alon,

yes, both use the same nic card.
i didn't realize that you were referring to dial-up service.

yes, i am in the US.

yes, i use both cable modem and dsl on the same laptop.

sorry, i couldn't be of more help.

Hey!

Thanks for your help!
I'm afraid your case is too different though...
See...You use ONE LAN connection at a time where I'm talking about TWO LANs
at ONCE.
One is to TELCO for ADSL and the 2nd one is to Cable co. for cable Internet.

I wasn't talking about analog Dial Up service,but about virtual Dial Up VPN
kind....PPTP/PPPoA.

Nothing is being "dialed" actually....just noone found a better name for
it.VPN " accesser" would be a proper way to call it,I guess

Yours truly,
Alon

 

[Dr. Indera]

hi alon,

ok, now i understand what you are saying. yes, i am only using one
connection at a time.
