Hi guys. I have recently got a 2meg DSL connection in to compliment my 2meg wireless connection. this means I have 2 Routers, one set on 192.168.0.250 and the other on 192.168.0.254. What i want to do is get my PC to spread the connection speeds of both the connections. Is this possible? I've tried adding the second gateway in the advanced options of the TCP/IP but it just uses the 1st gateway to access the net and not the other at all.

I think you need a hardware load balancer. Something like this

Adding two gateways in XP is for fault tolerance (I think). If the first is unavailable the PC will try the second one.
