One computer to make internet connection

broadband connection (isp) ==> isp modem ==> local router (befsr41) ==> single computer no static ip one computer to make internet connection now, i pick one computer from my lan connection and that computer has two ethernet card. So, i am using two different cables to connect with my computer. One is from broadband connection 1 and other is from broadband connection 2. I have bridge the connection for both connection into my computer. Now, i have plugged out for internet connection. To verify which internet connection i am using. Connection 1 or connection 2. Now, i have verified that i am using connection 2 is working but i am not able use my lan. so, how may i use my lan and also in parallel use connection 2? still, i have plugged out my internect connection 1.Simplicity needed here. Forgive me for going back to basic building blocks. one computer to make internet connection LAN = Local Area Network. Call it everything inside your house (as long as it is connected, of course)! WAN = Wide Area Network. Call that everything outside your house. ROUTER = something that routes traffic from/to one network to/from another. You can have as many routers on your LAN as you like. Each must have a unique LAN IP address. If your operating system allows, you can have as many NIC (network interface cards) on your PC, and all of them can be connected to your LAN, but each must have a unique IP address. one computer to make internet connection Keep it all on one "network", ie 192.168.1.n (subnet 255.255.255.0). google_ad_client = "pub-2311940475806896"; /* 300x250, created 1/6/11 */ google_ad_slot = "0098904308"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; Use a switch/hub to connect it all together (possibly the one that is built in to one of the routers?). You may find this easier to handle (and understand) if you give all your LAN devices fixed IP addresses: your routers will have to have fixed IP addresses on their LAN ports. Is any of this worth it? ... I'm inclined to think that it isn't --- but I have no experience with software such as octopus+ just mentioned, which might make all the difference. In another thread, someone else mentioned another software, which, for downloads, looks for mirrors and then manages the download from multiple sources across multiple connections. This approach could work for torrents, too To be honest, it is something I'd like to try --- not enough to invest in another broadband connection, modem, router, etc! I'd like to make it work, as a challenge, but my usage pattern wouldn't merit it anyway.broadband connection (isp) ==> isp modem ==> local router (befsr41) ==> single computer no static ip now, i pick one computer from my lan connection and that computer has two ethernet card.
