Use of two network cards to increase download bandwidth.
Use of two network cards to increase download bandwidth.
Each network jack where I am has a cap on the interent download speed. I would like to be able to combine the download bandwith of two internet jacks by using two different network cards in my computer and obtaining two simultanuous connectionts to the internet. How would I configure UE to apportion half the downloads from one network card and the other half from the second network card?
A local proxy? I suppose I can place a router inbetween my computer and one of the jacks so that there will not be a conflict of one computer name associated with two local ip addresses (if that's a problem).
My question is whether windows winsock will automatically redirect UE to download from the second network card if the first has saturated the network jack download cap, or do I have to make adjustments to UE in order for that to happen.

What I meant by local proxy is the use of freeproxy 3.92.
Since I use it in in a similar way, you can for instance :
- install it :p
- create a socks proxy (1080) and choose remote binding to you second card and set any ip on that one
- start the service :p
- create a duplicate news server in ue (complete or only for msg-id retrieval)
- check "Local proxy" (localhost/1080) and "relay through local proxy" for that duplicate entry in "proxies" pane and see if it works
If you're successful you might want to decide how to use those 2 access :
- at the same time
- the second if the first one fails using strict and preference flag from ue's news server entry
Cool thing is that soft even works for news client that don't support proxy by creating a "NNTP (News) Proxy".

You could also "bond" the connections.
Not sure if windows is able to do this directly, but you could, for example, use vyatta (www.vyatta.org) to setup routing, bonding & load balancing between the separate connections.
This way every application (and windows) could use the connections transparently. Requires knowledge on networking in general, though, to be able to set it up properly.
