Win2k supports dynamically connect/disconnect to several
separate LANs, just like you can dial into several
different ISPs. Fixed IP or Dynamic IP from DHCP are
supported without reboot your PC. You can also use
ISA, PCI and USB based network adapters. Cool?

Anybody know of routing software that will handle this problem? Wingate, Winproxy, etc, solve the other end of the problem (how to connect two PCs to one source; problem
here is to connect one PC to two sources).


Welcome back and I am glad to see you corrected the misinformation I posted on this subject.

Now I have another brain storm that needs to be shot down.

What about the possibility of using two network interface cards, NIC, and forget about using a hub? Connect one NIC to the cable modem and configure it to connect the internet. Connect the other NIC to the DSL modem and configure it to connect to the internet. If you do this is possible to select which modem you use to connect to the internet with out shutting down an rebooting?
