755663 2009-03-12 10:18:00 It is my (limited) understanding that yes you can have multiple connections, but some things work better than others. Its not quite as easy as just plugging two connections into two LAN ports on your PC to say the least!! Chilling_Silence (9)
755664 2009-03-12 19:35:00 Thanks for the info guys, I'll just have to find out how much it costs to get a second phone line installed and how much the line rental is. Krisby5 (13221)
755665 2009-03-13 12:43:00 Just use a multiport Ethernet switch, I do & don't have a problem with it except for mail unless you have multiple accounts. shell49 (7096)
755666 2009-03-13 22:19:00 shell49, that wont allow you to use multiple broadband connections. Both will "be there", but your PC will only direct traffic out one or another (generally speaking). See the "Gateway" setting of "ipconfig /all"

You need specific software thats clever enough to take traffic from one connection and pump it out two separate connections.
