Two simultaneous internet connections

[Jayso]

Is there any way that i can use my broadband internet connection while using
a dial-up connection?

For example:
I have to connect through a dial-up connection to access a company intranet
from home. However this connection is extremely slow and I can't access any
internet sites through this company dial-in. So, is there any way that i can
use the broadband connection for internet sites and the dial-in for intranet
sites?

Thanks for any help

I recommend consulting with the IT people at your company. They can
tell you whether company policy allows you to connect to the Intranet
and the Internet at the same time, and, if so, how to do it. There's
a security risk involved, so some companies don't allow it.

Follow Steve Winograd's advice, and ask your company IT department if they
have any problems with it.

It can be done. You will need to futz with the routing table. I don't know
of a way to automate this; but a Google search may be revealing.

Yes, but your "dial-in" as you put it (It’s likly it’s just a VPN
connection) may not function properly if at all, but it’s at least
worth a try. Open the properties of the "Dial-in" g to the networking
tab (if you can), selecte Interet protacall TCP/IP, open the
properties of that, click advanced and uncheck (or untick, which ever
you like to say) the option "Use default gateway on remote network".
As I said, this will make your normal internet connection keep working
once it is connected. Also, this asumes that it is a normal VPN
connection.
