How can I connect 1 PC to 2 ISP's

[Carl]

I need some Traffic Shaping Software of some form!

Unless there is an easier way.

The reason being is that I have two adsl lines with
wired/wireless routers on both, but they are with
different ISP's but I need to be able to connect to both
off just one PC and utilise the bandwith as if it where 1
connection.

So can someone help me with this problem and solve it for
me.

Hi, Carl -

With the stuff that comes with Windows, this is only
possible as a multilink PPP session over dialup or ISDN -
and your ISP has to support it. Over a DSL line it's not
possible with the tools that come with Windows.

It *might* be possible with a third-party program but I
have no idea if such a tool is available.

Sorry I couldn't be more help -

I don't know of any software solutions that will do that, but there are
hardware solutions to load balance / increase speed, but they are pretty
expensive.

BTW I should've said it was ADSL

Carl,

As the Other Posters indicate, there's not going to be a lot of ready solutions
for you.

Hawking has one, though, which may help:

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

This solution requires using something other than XP ... but Linux OS's
typically provide sophisticated routing software. Perhaps with the
addition of a Linux machine configured to do what you want will work for
you. You'll have to figure it out though. See the Linux Documentation
Project at http://www.tldp.org/, in particular
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/index.html

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

I'm looking into doing the same thing...see my original
post.

I came across this s/w solution but since I'm not ready to
try this yet I'd like to hear how you get on.

Download Intergate

It's a trial version only but claims to load-share
multiple ISPs.
