General Red Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 So Im going back to summer school, and long story short, internet blows. But heres the deal. Each room gets 2 mb/s, split through 2 ips, so 1 mb/s each. Since I will not have a roomate I need to figure out how to use both IPs. Hope fully I can use 1 with my wireless and 1 with my wired considering there 2 different mac addresses (im pretty sure) Ideally, id like to have 1 assigned to gmod/glames. and 1 for the rest (ts, browsing, youtube etc) Ive been trying to research but cannot find anything. If anyone has ANY idea I would seriously love you! Thanks! other problem is i wont be able to lock down ip addresses since the school runs it. So if I could set my computer to run certain things off 1 connection and certain things off others while using both, thatd be perfect.

enigma# Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 so wait, you have two dynamic IP WAN addresses? If that's the case, you'll probably have two devices (two modems typically)... you can just split them accordingly (two different physical lines) or have them split the line (their DHCP server should be able to do this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Red Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 No, the school may have more than 1 wan address i have no way of knowing. I just get an internal line so all of this would be internal. The problem is each internal IP is limited connection so i would liked to take 2 internal ip addresses using my wireless and wired.

General Red Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 haha god i hope so. Lagging in gmod because someone is TS is talking is a bitch. also i found this. Would this be what I want to use? http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/forcebindip/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 hmm so sounds like they have their own DHCP server dishes out 2 IP address V (node) -> x1 (first LAN address) v x2 (second lan address) if that's the case, a router should do, you can hard code your IP addresses in windows or give each of your computers a static DHCP lease. It works wonders if you don't want to manually type it in ). I would say having a schematic would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Red Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 the only problem with a router is it gets assigned 1 ip address, which once again limits me. Their rotuers im sure serv out tons of internal IP addresses. but each one is limited to 1mb/s where im trying to attain 2 internal IPS on one computer. I tried the rotuer while i was there, but the router once again takes one internal ip address therefore limit is still in effect. I need to take two of the assigned internal IPs. a schematic? let me try to show you in paint i guess i suck at drawing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 hmm okay, so you have 1 line coming into your room right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Red Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 yes sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You can probably get a switch at this point and assign the IP addresses (you're alowed to have to each port) that's what I could think of, get in touch with your school's IT department too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Council Kigen Posted May 23, 2012 Executive Council Share Posted May 23, 2012 Without a special driver you'd need two NIC cards/routers. In order to split the incoming connection you need a switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Red Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 i can turn my router into a switch but thered be no way to split it between the wireless and wired? dam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma# Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 unless you can set your WAP to a seperate IP address (seperate DHCP server) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Council Kigen Posted May 28, 2012 Executive Council Share Posted May 28, 2012 i can turn my router into a switch but thered be no way to split it between the wireless and wired? dam If your router can act as a switch and you connect to it using two different connections it'll work. But I'm also thinking you won't see a real performance boost because normally Windows selects just one adapter to route all internet traffic through.
