Hi,

Let's say I have two broadband connections (for example, one cable and one dsl). For simplicity, let's say that each is running at 1.5 MBit. Is there any procedure/software setup to run both into a server running 10.4 and get 3 Mbit inside the network?

Thanks,
someone who loves Macs

I don't know if thats possible, maybe thru network bridging, but I'm not sure.

Not sure if you can do this via 10.4 server, but you would need 3 nic cards, 2 in and 1 out.

I know Cisco make a router that does load balancing for multiple ADSL lines some info here Nildram UK - Load Balanced Broadband

I went through this awhile ago and found no solution. You need a business class router, Nivag's suggestion is a good one.

any mac with dual ethernet its easy, go to internet sharing and select the two ethernet ports..

i have not tested this but was told by my boss (IT Manager) that, thats how to do it.

Pretty sure that won't work. Internet sharing would merely make service available through one port from existing service on the other.
