NAT with two cablemodems ?

[JCV]

Hi, I´ve two cablemodems connected into my LAN.
One use NAT over W2K server, and the other use Winproxy over an NT4 server.

I´m need connect the two cablemodems into my W2K server, is that possible ?

Regards.

Yes, you can have two internet connections.

Cable modem1 --> Router1 --> Into Switch1 --> to Computers



Cable Modem2 --> Router2 --> Into Switch1 --> to Computers


Now you to allow computer to use both Internet connections, you could use multiple Gateways. Assign half of your clients the gateway of Router1 and the other half to Gateway2 (to share the load). Also configure secondary gateways for each client in case the primary goes down.

look at

http://www.routergod.com

for some interesting stuff about what routers are...

basically you will have problems trying to put 3 network cards and 2 cable modems if they use the same drivers (ie identical hardware)...

By routers, I mean LinkSys routers. I am not using Windows NAT. A router costs like $50 for a DSL or cable line.
