Hypothetical situation

i have two DLS modems, is there a way to incorporate both of them?

i don't actually mean double my bandwidth, i mean with my router, it is seriously interfering with my taboo downloads, because of the internal firewall..

what i wanna do is set up a PC to do nothing but download.. it will just sit there and thats all, just download..

is it possible to use two modems to access one account?

With DSL, no. Cable allows you to split the line and use two modems, but you have to pay more line rental.

With adsl, the best you can do is either buy an expensive router or set up on an old PC running linux to be a router. This router will be capable of managing your traffic so that web browsing and/or playing games is not affected by how much traffic is trying to go through your connection on some non-critical port.

I believe you can "cheat" the system using a hub perhaps. Feed your line to the uplink port, and then send lines 1 and 2 to the modems. Could work..?

I had the internet going on 2 computers with a hub. But now I have a router since I needed wireless.

But of course all this is hypothetical right Jon? :wink:

I do have this situation! I have two LAN cards on my MoBo, I think their main use is for a bridge between computers. Like connect another computer to my other LAN card and that other computer can use the internet through mine.

If you use a router on your DSL line it might be possible....

You can't put phone lines into a hub. If you are using adsl modem, then your incoming connection is not on cat5.

Puting a normal hub after a modem doesnt really do anything other than let more than one PC use the connection, and I think this is what Orph already has. One PC can still hog the whole connection.

Orph, try limiting the uplaod bandwidth for the offending program, that tends to have a bigger impact than download bandwidth.
