| 402202 | 2005-11-05 22:16:00 | Is it possable to have two ADSL connections on the same modem. Is there anyway to switch from one to the other. | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 402203 | 2005-11-05 23:20:00 | If you want two independent connections on the one line & account Jack, the answer is yes. Use an external adsl router/switch combination. That will let you network the computers as well. I have between 2 and 6 computers on my adsl connection at any given time via a Nokia router (modem) and a D-Link switch, but you can buy router/switches as a single unit. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

I was sure it couldn't be done, so I'll explain what I want to do . Just the one computer . No network . I want an account with ISP A and an account with ISP B . Not necessarily both running at same time . But must be relatively simple switching between them . |

| 402205 | 2005-11-06 00:47:00 | Yes you should be able to do that. Create an account for each ISP in your modem/router settings (usually the default homepage for your modem/router) As far as switching is concerned basically all you would have to do is select the appropriate account and click the "connect" button and you shoul dbe sweet. cheers chiefnz |

I asked the XTRA help desk this question yesterday and was told NO. the account is linked to the phone line, if you watn two accounts you need two lines. |

I think what he means is to have to separate accounts with one or the other active not both active at the same time. So technically he would be able to do this. cheers chiefnz |

That is why when changing ISP's an application has to be made by the new ISP to Telecom to get the change made. |
