Using multiple Internet connections

[YZ]

Hi all, I have two network interfaces (a wired Ethernet connection and a
wireless connection) that both let me reach the Internet. I'm wondering if
I can use both simultaneously, perhaps by somehow specifying which
connection a process (and its subprocesses) can take. I'd be interested in
doing this programmatically (API calls) if necessary. I'm trying to
maximize the bandwidth used by my file transfer application. Thanks in
advance for any hints.

What about bridging them, Highlight both connections in the Control Panel and
click on Network and Internet connections and there you will see both of them
hold CTRL and Clcik with your mouse to select when both selected Right Click
and select Bridging.

I haven't tried bridging two Internet connections, but I don't think
that it will work. The purpose of a network bridge is to combine two
separate physical networks into one logical network. I've written a
web page with details:
