I have (XP PRO)
I have 2 DSL service connections on 2 different phone lines.
I have 2 modems, one for each connection (Huawei SmartAX MT880 Modem and Azatec Adsl modem).
With 2 NICS

Setup is as follows:
NIC 1 LAN - Ip 10.0.0.2, Gateway 10.0.0.1 , DNS 0.0.0.0.0.0
Huawei SmartAX MT880 Modem is conented to NIC 1


NIC 2 DSL IP 192.168.1.3 Gateway 192.168.1.1
Azatec Adsl modem is connected to NIC 2


I am not asking about
(Combining Bandwidth or Load Balancing two connections).


I want to be able to run one browser (i.e. Internet Explorer) to utilize the 1 DSL connection and run a different browser (i.e.
Mozilla Firefox) to utilize the other DSL connection.

I have used Dsl and cable connection (cable was isa server client) like this last year but now I want to use 2 dsl connections

Please help me how to do it? Do I need a software to do that?

Thanks

While I've never done this - I think you need to explore the 'proxy server' settings in the two browsers.

If you point IE at a 'proxy server' of 192.168.1.1 - it should take the NIC2 route to the Internet.

(I'm not familiar with Fiirefox - but I'll bet it has a similar dialog box somewhere.)

Load Balancer will help you out in this matter if you don't want to buy load balancer that intall Linux or Windows Server 2003 it can be done in these you OS

You are trying to use two gateway addresses on the same machine. This is a no-no.

It is a matter of simple routing. Browser A wants to go to AskMeHelpDesk.com and Browser B wants to go to Yahoo.com. Which way does it go? It is not about what the browser wants to do. First, simple name resolution has to take place. What is the IP address for AskMeHelpDesk.com? How does it lookup the address? What ISP does it go to? Talk about computer indecision... it does not know where to go because there are always two possible avenues for the same answers.

Chuckhole is absolutely correct.

I was thinking of using a browser typing in actual IP addresses - who does that? Not me... <banging head on wall>...
