2 Accounts over one line?

[Syzygy78]

Hi Everyone []

I seem to recall this question being asked... BUT i cannot find the thread!

What im thinking of doing, is perhaps getting an ADSL line for home use. What I would like is to have 2 PC's make use of it. However, I want each PC to use a seperate account. Also, is it possible to even out the ADSL connection when it comes to downloading? What I mean by that, is have it where each PC can perhaps only download a max of 256kbps. This would ensure that one PC does not receive more bandwidth than the other...

Thanks all,
Syzygy78

yes this is possible but

1)your DSLAM is limited to 512kbs
2)loadbalancing cant be done without some BW management but there will be a balance as the telkom network will do management for you ...
3)do not use a ADSL router but PPPoE from each PC

I am using the above setup with Win XP, PC-1 (192.168.0.1) and PC-2 (192.168.0.2)
PC-1 for all local Traffic and PC-2 for international traffic.
I am using normal old "Internet Explorer" to do the route's.
PC-2 has Wingate installed on it.
PC-1 setup to use a Proxy (1921.68.0.2) and Bypass proxy for local server enabled.

This is the Exceptions:
*.za; *.org.za

Does any one however know what software can do this as Internet Explorer ignores IP adresses like 196.*.*.*

I am looking for a route app or a proxy that will allow this to be done.
I am asking this because www.myadsl.co.za is not a local IP adress. (need a work around)

Does any one know if windows XP "ROUTE.EXE" can do this? and how to set it up?

Hope someone can help me.

This is slightly misleading. What will actually happen is similar to when two lanes of traffic merge; things get a bit chaotic, but on average the two streams balance out evenly.

In terms of truly routing international traffic through one connection and local traffic through another... the answer is probably yes, although not in the terms that you described it. However, anyone trying to do this will probably become mentally deranged before they get anywhere near finishing the task, so I would strongly advise against trying to use an operating system like Windows for this purpose.

A less complete solution whereby you manually override certain addresses etc. may be feasible to implement.

Hey its actually pretty easy in Windows to route local over certain interface:

route add 216.236.176.0 MASK 255.255.240.0 192.168.2.1 -p
route add 216.5.192.0 MASK 255.255.248.0 192.168.2.1 -p
route add 216.5.0.0 MASK 255.255.248.0 192.168.2.1 -p
route add 216.4.160.0 MASK 255.255.252.0 192.168.2.1 -p
route add 216.2.176.0 MASK 255.255.248.0 192.168.2.1 -p
route add 216.0.52.0 MASK 255.255.254.0 192.168.2.1 -p
route add 216.0.50.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 192.168.2.1 -p
