Steam Local bandwidth

[eltherza]

I've been eying out the cheaper local bandwidth account and i was wondering if there is anyway to connect to steam (using international bandwidth) switch to local account and play on the local servers to save my international cap?

You need an international and a local account.
The local account is used for local stuff, the international account is used for int'l. stuff, at the same time.

Search this forum for RouteSentry.

And make sure you are not running Vista. AFAIK people have been having problems with Vista and RouteSentry. Has this been fixed yet? I think it had more to do with RASPPPOE not working.

Actually, the reason for RASPPPoE not working in Vista is because Vista already has a pseudo RASPPPoE built in.

You need to create 2 PPPoE connections in vista, and use those in RouteSentry. You then switch the router to bridge mode.

Im using Vista x64, and it works ok.

What Identity Crysis said isn't 100% accurate. You can't create 2 PPPoE connections in Vista, only one at a time. Your router needs to support half-bridge mode. You can still then use RS for Vista and setup your accounts via that, but the fact of the matter remains is that you can't establish to 2 PPPoE connections. If Identity Crysis is able to do that, I would love to hear his relevant steps...
