>>Is the speed of the internet connection cut in half cause you're
using two ip's off one data feed? well, the speed of your conection is always the same, but, it is shared among 2 computers. So you cant get the max bandwidth for each computer. The question is whow much do you get. My experience is, it seems to be better to download things in
paralell at the same time. I just made a test: I downloaded a matrox driver from matrox ftp site: using my wingate machine i got a transfer rate of 7.2K/sec. On my second computer (behind wingate) same speed. Now, using both computers a the same time (downloading 2 different files) i got 3.5K/Sec for the wingate computer and 3.8K/sec for my client machine.<<

What you say here is true for a low speed internet connection. But what happens if you have high speed internet access? Then your download speed may be limited by the speed of your data vendors connection to the internet. But more likely I believe at times you will find your download speed will be limited by the speed of InterJetNet and at other times your download speed will be limited by the speed of your data vendors connection to the internet. I don't know if you realize it Street Walker but the speed of your internet access can be much less than 10 Megabits per second when a lot of customers are using InterJetNet's service at one time.
