Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / May 2008blending? dsl and cable connection to one computer
Im curious if the following the can be done. Could i run a dsl and a cable connection to one computer in a way that only requires one network connection enabled yet utilizes both connections? I use my computer for day trading(stocks, options, etc) and need to reduce/eliminate any connection drop offs even for a few seconds. The trouble is the software i use for trading requires a connection license thats about $800 month and only allows one connection to be running at a time for one license. My thought was perhaps running the dsl modem and cable modem into a router and then connecting my computer to that would allow me to log into the trading software such that if say the cable connection would drop off the dsl would still keep the data flowing and vice versa. Anyone have any idea if this is possible and perhaps how to do it??? thanks for reading The easiest way is to connect these to a network router that has two WAN ports. >Im curious if the following the can be done.

Yes, but Jack's still correct, however. To the OP: check out Sonicwall devices with EnhancedOS. They can do this for you. >> Hi >> It can Not be done with Client OS, the only way to use the two is to [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >>> if this is >>> possible and perhaps how to do it??? thanks for reading Dual WAN port routers have two modes.

Anyone have any idea if this is > possible and perhaps how to do it??? thanks for reading FatPipe (fatpipeinc.com) makes some products that sound like they will do what you are looking for. I know that they are used by some government agencies but am not sure about the pricing. Hi Yeah FatPipe is awesome. However the pricing is so that you can buy half of the Internet and get change, ;) ;) Jack (MVP-Networking). >> Im curious if the following the can be done.
