Can somebody please help me combine speeds from 2 networks! :(

[hive]

Hi all... Kind of a strange question, but I need help As soon as possible..

I am using XP, SP2..

I have _2_ seperate networking devices enabled, one is a wired ethernet port
which has network 1 into it, and I also have a wireless card that is
connected to an entirely seperate modem/network within close range.. Right
now, the way I am telling windows which device to send/receive on is by
typing:

route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 metric 1

In turn, this will force all my internet traffic through the 192.168.2.1
network instead of the 192.168.1.1 net, but while leaving the 192.168.1.1
network available internally...

The problem is, I want to utilize BOTH bandwidths simultaneously.. Someone
on IRC said it can defintely be done with some commands or settings in XP ,
and its called "Bridging" or something but then he had to leave and I am
stuck here.. I want to combine upload speeds from both when I am uploading..
Like my 192.168.2.x network gives me 240kb/s upload, but then theres a
completely un-utilized 90kb/s upload on my 192.168.1.x network that I want to
make use of!

Can someone please help me out, sorry for the confusing explaination..

THANKS ALOT in advance!

Hi hive,

Perhaps this is what you're looking to do:

XP ICS - Network Bridge
