If I had two seperate broadband connections coming into the office network (using bt business hubs) can I get particular pcs on the network to access the internet on a particular chosen router and the rest on the second. How do I configure to stop all pcs from using the broadband on just the first router they come to. We have "NOT FAST ENOUGHT YET" broadband and I am thinking 2 connections will give me fewer machines sharing bandwidth on each line and have the added advantage of giving me a backup if one of the lines were to go down. How do I configure this or can you point me to a publication or helpfile that will show me how to configure. Our pcs are a mixture of xp windows 7 server 2008 and server 2003 and they are all networked via ethernet through a switch - no wireless. Last time I asked this (about 2 years ago) it was a question I put to somebody in BT broadband telephone support and also I asked a bt salesman and both said it couldn't be done but surely it can!!
What you are looking to do, is known as either a bonded service or shareband. If you go to BT shareband this explains the product that BT supply for this type of service.
I have just done this through Sharedband and it works fine. I have 3 lines bonded together each giving c5MB so I get c15MB usually. A few configuration issues with our firewall etc but the Sharedband tech support guys are very good indeed. Definitely worth considering and happy to answer any questions.
