: Hello world!
:
: I have Windows XP Pro.
:
: I wonder if I could configure ONE computer to be connected to the Internet
: both using ADSL and CABLE.
: Of course,not simultanously.Just to have 2 Dial Up Connections (not
: analog,but PPP virtual ones) and use them one after another.
: ONE-PPTP (VPN) for Cable modem connection and SECOND-,say,PPPoATM for USB
: ADSL modem connection.
: I have a NIC and my cable modem is connected to it.It's LAN and I have
: 172.2X.X.X IP address from cable Co. at all times and when I want to
connect
: to the Internet I Dial to my ISP and get an external IP address from
: it-80.179.X.X in my case...(each time it's different,naturally)-Open
Access
: type.
: I have USB port and I can get a USB ADSL modem and use a PPPoA type of
: connection with it.
: And to use the same ISP (whether with the same or not account with it-it
: doesn't matter here)...
:
: The way I understand it-it should work OK...The unclear part is.....is it
: the NIC or the modem that gets 172.X.X.X address? In Cable....Some ppl
don't
: have NIC's in their PC's...they use USB Cable modems...but they would
still
: have that 172.X.X.X address...so it's not the NIC,but the modem who gets
: it....or am I wrong?
:
: If I also have a USB ADSL modem,then that modem would get a 10.X.X.X IP
: address from TELCO at all times
:
:
: So the bottom line is....the way I get it....my Cable modem would
constantly
: have that 172.X.X.X address from Cable Co ( same as my NIC).AND my ADSL
: modem would constantly have 10.X.X.X address from TELCO.
: Whenever I use a Dial Up PPTP VPN adapter it would get a 80.179.X.X
address
: from my ISP and I would get on the Internet using cable
infrustructure.Then
: I disconnect...Then I'll use a PPoA connection (the virtual adapter is
: installed ,using a software that comes with the ADSL modem-Globespan ALE
: series...) and I would get also 80.179.X.X address from ISP,using my
another
: account with it (the ADSL one).
