imagex · 12-27-2001, 12:32 AM

we play a lot of unreal at my house and have run out of bandwidth i've ordered another dsl line.i know i could run 2 severs and split half the computers on 2 switches and mybe bridge the two networks, but i heard i might be able to run them "shotgun" like we use to with 56k modems. anyone know how?

there's probly a NAT program that will do it, maybe winroute pro?

i want to know if you could do that too... do you think linux could do it?

Joe · 12-28-2001, 01:08 AM

I doubt it, I think its more a function of the router hardware than anything else. I guess if you can find some software made to do it, you may be able to.

Are you talking about using dual DSL lines acting as a single IP address?

I was toying with the idea of doing that a while back with a DSL and a Cable modem. I have heard from one of my friends that Linix COULD do it (IP "mascarading" I think it was called)

I personally do NOT know how to do it, all I know is that I believe Linix CAN be configured to do it HOWEVER a Linux Box would HAVE to become your router for both DSLs in order to achieve this.

If I ever actually get around to doing something like that, I will be sure to post it here

Good luck.

P.S. Why dont you just uncap your DSL? AKA ADSL have a maximum downstream of 1.5Mb and upstream of 786Kb (same as a T1) Most DSL companies offer an upgrade plan for extra $$$$ IF you are close enough to the station that your DSL is connected to. That might solve your problem too

i'm checking into that,or a fractional t1.hell i thought i knew alot about networking"took a class cisco", but right now i feel as dumb as a box of rocks.

try winroute pro. you can select NAT for multiple interfaces.
the trial is free and its fully functional.

I have a buddy who's a full blown MCSE and Network+ and
lots of other things that look good on paper. And I know
someone who has "Aggrigated" (the proper term for what
your asking about) dual 1.1 DSL lines. I'll try to get back to you
on this soon.
