XP knows about two internet connections but does not use the second
one until the first goes down.  In my case I have a laptop that has
both a wireless connection and a wired connection.

XP chooses to use the wired connection which is a 100 base T until
something happens to it.  It then switches over.  This is not what he
wants.

Unused bandwidth is a terrible thing to waste!!!!

1a. 2 Networks for load sharing?
    Posted by: "Tobias Gogolin" usertogo@... usertogo
    Date: Sat Oct 20, 2007 12:24 pm ((PDT))

I have an interesting challenge: I have a cable Internet connection and
another DSL connection over phone lines at the same time.
For now I have them hooked up to the two Ethernet ports of my PC running XP
pro, however I haven't figured out how to use them both at the same time!
I wonder if I could use both at the same time to share loads and accelerate
transfers, and also make this faster combined network
accessible to my notebook computers via my WRT54G wireless router?


thanks for any hints...

At work we have a box called route science that load balances traffic 
from multiple ISP's. This is a very high end (and expensive)device 
and I'm not sure there is anything similar for home use but I could 
be wrong. Search the web for the following : "Load 
Balancing", "Multihoming" & "Session Balancing". Maybe you'll come up 
with something. I know there are some boxes designed for the 
small/medium office markets but the are anywhere from 10-20 grand.
Good Luck, DJ

Hi Tobias & DJ,
Great stuff, I hadn't thought about looking into this.  A Google search 
for "DSL load balancing" revealed some fascinating stuff, one of which 
was a review that was great reading:

Just providing info for discussion only, I haven't tried this 
product/approach.
Best Regards,
Jon

I have an interesting challenge: I have a cable Internet connection and another DSL connection over phone lines at the same time.
For now I have them hooked up to the two Ethernet ports of my PC running XP pro, however I haven't figured out how to use them both at the same time!
I wonder if I could use both at the same time to share loads and accelerate transfers, and also make this faster combined network
accessible to my notebook computers via my WRT54G wireless router?

Beware the firmware changes the default password admin. My guess is
that will have to pay $25.00 Sveasoft to find out what the default
password is.

thanks Andrew for the suggestion,

it took more than once for a reset...

I was able to install 3rd party firmware & my router is now stable.

A simple websearch of wrt54g v4 firmware will allow you see what 3rd
party firmware you can add.

Also, another forum that is more active & has info is: http://

what causes the router to stop? wired and wireless...
lights are still on and some are 'blinking' but cannot connect.

using ver. 4.21.1

any assistance is appreciated.

Actually I've been using wrt54g since early v2 (VxWorks is v4 or v5
hardware where they reduced the size of the memory, don't remember off
the top of my head which version) and all of the stock firmware would
hang after a while.  Most of the hacker firmware did not have this
problem.

Hi!

I read some time ago in a hacker (Eric Raymond) documentation about
WRT54G that the new firmware (VxWorks ?) introduces instabilities
previously not found in the first generation firmware for WRT54G.

one of them was exactly this limitation of uptime.

i'm a new user of new WRT54G equipments. could someone please confirm
that ?

All the best,
hilton

If the phone in question is a 2.4GHz cordless, then yes, it will interfere since
802.11b/g uses the same part of the spectrum.  Switch to a 900MHz or 5.8GHz
cordless to avoid problems.

Hi Ron,
I presume that is the standard Lynksys firmware. I understand that some
of the early versions of this have a problem whereby if you run a p2p
application, a cumulative error occurs.
One of the strong points of the WRT54G is that third party firmware is
available for many models. I use DD-WRT which opens up a plethora of new
functions and gives enhanced stability.
The Wikipedia has a number of useful resources here.

Hi guys, I just went wireless everything is working great except after running all day I lose my ability to access the net, I have to unplug my router for 30sec replug it in then everything works great! could this be a setting? does it sound familiar? also I'm trying to secure my firewall and im trying to understand it! is there a link to a place that covers the linksys firewall and explains it all? and with the linksys firewall is there a way to stop traffic both ways so I can control what programs access the internet?

Thanks Ron.

Thanks for the quick reply,

Just a miser trying to recycle an old piece of equipment, but it seems
that it would be a lot more wasteful to convert it, maybe I'll find
something to do with the antenna.

I have two of Ringo Rangers and as far as I know it is fine tuned for
vhf and not uhf, I was wondering since it could be fine tuned for a
specific frequency maybe it could be modded to support 2.4 Ghz.

I really have no idea about antenna's aside from the cantenna articles
I have read. Most of these have built in calculation tool on what the
length should be according to the circumference of the can.

Thanks in advance

YOu know Bluetooth and 802.11 are different frequencies? So, its not...
