i was thinking about this…
lets say we have one computer…
in LAN there is DSL internet…1Mbps download
in USB there is wireless internet dongle…Mbps download
is there anyway , i can combine the two and then my torrents, browser etc use combined 3Mbps???
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
you can try to bridge the two network interfaces but I think a software based solution may not be that effective afterall.
I think you’ll need to invest in some hardware like a dual WAN router.
I’ll let a networking expert tell you more - I’d be interested in learning more about this myself.

This looks more like a Life1 issue to me. Patti, patni aur woh type istory. 
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
hmmm… both are patnis…if you come to think of it…but the problem of having them together in a same compartment to derive benefits is very life1’ish indeed 
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
Dekha. I speak the truth.

i never doubted the truthness of your speek..

stop being an ustani… and tell me how to get the bandwidth combined

Get a high end router! Itna toh mujhey bhi pata hai! 
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
i read about wooweb software for combining two connections to increase speed but does it really work?
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
the problem with a software based solution is that most of these enable load balancing and not true broadband bonding, which I think is only possible at the ISP backend or through dedicated hardware. Again, I might be wrong, but based on my little knowledge of how TCP/UDP stacks function, I think it’s not possible to achieve through a software solution on the client front-end.
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
LC is right in that software load-balancers won’t work. They will not know hot to stitch packets together. For example if you have a 10 mbps connection and another which is 5. If you are downloading a 500 mb files, so it would be downloaded at a 3:2 ratio. How will your computer know what packet fits in what location?
With that being said there are hardware options available. I have worked with FatPipe and F5 solutions that does just what you want, but they cost in 10s of thousands of dollars. You may also be able to achieve this result by using one of those Linux based firewall software like ClarkConnect (dunno if its still available) and IPCop. Those get installed on a single machine with multiple ethernet cards and u can band the connections together. There might be other ways. Google “dual wan nat” and that should give you some answers.
Another thing you can do is on your LAN you can have some computers using 1 ISP and other computer using another ISP, so that way might work somewhat. Post here what you find. Sounds like a good project.
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
i am not all that techie 
i thought there would be some software thingy…that will like..allow me to have some applications (say torrent) using one stream of bandwidth say from usb dongle…and the LAN internet for other (browser)…
but from what you guys say…it seems like pretty complicated thing…
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
Well, there are definitely ways of doing that. You can route traffic to certain directions to one gateway and other traffic to another. For example you can download stuff from a Microsoft site thru ur wifi and everything else (default) to another. You can accomplish that by specifying specific routes. To see routes on your Windows PC, go to the cmd prompt and type: “route print”. It should show you a whole bunch of lines. Some nifty stuff can be done with these routes, but if you don’t know what your’re doing I wouldn’t recommend touching it. 
Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
Here’s the route print on my MacBook:

Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
yea..i wouldn’t…i thought there would be some software or application which does things…but seems like quite technical / professional networking stuff…

Good, so we can close this thread then? Itna jaldi haar maan li?

Re: combining internet connections on a single PC
is the wireless internet your neighbour’s wifi?
