To be honest, and sorry if this offends, I would guess a number of
contributors here haven't said anything because your original messages
verge on the undecipherable.

If you have two separate ADSL links that you want to put traffic over,
you can load-balance by hot switching - but that will break any existing
connection and does not allow you to use both at once. You can't
actively balance traffic across both simultaneously because you would
then have two source IPs, and packets from one IP would not be
associated with a connection established on the other.

Does that help, or are you trying to do something else?

Cheers,

Alex.

Hi and cheers Alex also Chris
Yes Alex i Realise a Fat pipe from 2 adsl would be impossible as both adsl conections are from different isp so i guess they cant tie the other end up for sync reasons .And sorry for the bad discription.
i did try the ascii diag but it went up in the air so i sent a corrected version which looked ok but i guess was not imediatley obvious .
Chris is nearly there ,but i would like to share conections as in if one has no bandwidth left it uses the other or can i just set 2 gateways splitting the pc's in half and then do a cron job so if one link goes down all will use the other. other problem is some pc's have fixed ips linux box is web,mail and samba server , also one winxp box is fixed ip which is Game server .So with out dhcp i guess cron could sort linux box out but but winxp is out of water , i dont know ! .
Dont know if i want too much ?? But it would be good if i could get it Hi Hi
So cheers in advance
Russ
