simple XP uses teaming or just DL midpoint gateway and it will team the connections. I used to do that with 2 dial up lines way back with W98

just get a router that support two WAN lines, problem solved, it will then split the traffic out on both of them and can do QoS and so on.

There are not many home class routers that do this, but I did read a review of one that does this.

Does your mobo support this feature? I know my Gigabyte EP45-Extreme does.

stridervm is correct, but additional explanations are required. http://ask-leo.com/can_i_combine_t [...] ction.html provides an excellent explanation. You haven't mentioned if both connections are with the same ISP, but that's required to install a load balancing router at each end. You'll spend a lot of money to do it, but you'll never double the speed of a file transfer.

Call ISP and buy a faster speed!!!!



That would be the smartest thing to do.

The best you can do is to add static routes to your PC to direct certain traffic up specific pipes - for example you could direct your MMO traffic up a certain pipe, and file download up the other... But unless both are from the same ISP you have no hope of real load balancing..
