Capped internationally?

If it's a capped TI account, use it as the local connection and get a R70 WA prepaid or something for international. Then use UUNET or the newsserver to pull something locally.

Ok, I have 2 TI accounts, the one is capped so I can only use local, and the other I can use for international. I have put the details in the two connections and connected them both using routesentry. Now how do I know that it's working?

Download somethin that you know is local. If the little network monitor icon in the bottom right hand corner of your taskbar corresponding to your local account lights up, it's working.

Or you can just use the usage tracker at www.telkomsa.net

All you need to do for the Vista version. Download the Vista Routesentry Beta version.

Create a PPPoE dialup connection in Vista (I would suggest the local account). Go to the start menu, type ncpa.cpl, open it, then double click on the connection, go to properties and then TCP/IP V4 properties, remove the tick from "use default gateway".

Now, make sure the account is disconnected, you can see this in the notification area, where the two computers are connected, right click there and choose disconnect from >.

Open Routesentry and choose the Local and International accounts, click connect and check the log if it was successful and without errors, if you have any errors, it's not set up correctly.

This is said that I assume your router supports Half Bridge or PPPoE Relay and that it is selected.
