Load Balancing For Two NICs.

Greeting,
I'd like to know how to use two NICs at the same time for Internet Access. I
have two cable modems and would like to use both of them at the same time on
the same computer for faster speeds. Is there any way to do that ? I try
Viacomsoft's SURF DOUBLER and it did not work for some reason. I have
Windows XP Pro and Road Runner. I do not use a DSL/Cable Modem Router.

Thanks.
 
This can also be a function of the NICs themselves, with
some vendor NICs having drivers to use when you want
them to be treated as one for aggregated bandwidth.
 
Hi,

There is no NIC load balancing in XP. You may want to look into teaming
NICs.

Click to expand...

you won't be able to do this with two cable modems. Cable doesn't even
support it. Plus, roadrunner must authorize each modem by it's MAC
address... you hook another modem up, and it won't work.
