2 inet connections split

BArra

hihi

i have a thing i want to do...

basically i have wireless broadband and i still have ISDN, and the wireless broadband has sometimes poor routing to some servers i like to play counter strike on

what i want to do is use the wireless broadband connection to connect and use its bandwidth for a voice utility called ventrilo.

and then i want to use the isdn connection for counter strike

i dont wanna involve another pc to do the job as i have been told would work, id just like it to work on this pc alone, and of course i can disable and enable it as i please

thanks to anyone that can shed some light

Windows machine Im presuming.....

Figure out the ip address's of CS servers your using....

Open a cmd window...
type:
route -p add CS_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS mask 255.255.255.255 ISDN_DEFAULT_GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS

repeat that for every ip you want to connect to via the ISDN.. Not a nice way to do it... There may be better ways... Im not too familiar with windows routing..

all advice is appritiated, thanks a lot, ill give it a shot

and yeah windows xp

ive tried it and its not worked

route -p add CS_SERVER_IP mask 255.255.255.255 ISDN_CLIENT_IP

if i goto cmd promt and type "route print" it shows up, but again anything that needs to use bandwidth, it uses the isdn

as soon as i dial into the isdn, from a route print, the isdn client ip takes over as the default gateway and the wireless is redundant

heres a few pics.

Right do exactly the following and tell me what happens..

Disconnect isdn and wireless. (Start from scratch)
Reconnect wireless
Reconnect ISDN
cmd
route -p add CS_SERVER_IP mask 255.255.255.255 ISDN_DEFAULT_GATEWAY
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 WIRELESS_DEFAULT_GATEWAY

what may be happening is DHCP from the ISDN after dial up is messin your settings..

Im 99% certain that if windows is actually following those instructions it will work.

Let me know how you get on..

i managed to do it due to ur initial advice, i havent tried anything from your last reply, ill tell u what i did though...

i tried doing it the way you said, but counter strike is played off a system called steam, which would issue me with an invalid steamID ticket due to the fact i had a diff ip to the one i had signed into the program with, i couldnt fix this no matter what i did, it kept coming back with the error

so.. i just turned it around, i let the isdn take all bandwidth when it dials in, and since the wireless goes redudant when ISDN is on, i simply just routed the wireless connection to the ventrilo server ip from the command you gave me

route -p add VENTRILO_IP mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.1

and it works

thank you for your help fractal
