How to configure NLB in Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)?

[Whitehorse13]

Details: Os: windows 7 ultimate 64bit.
1 huawei modem.
1 Nokia 3g mobile phone.

Steps tried: I have made 3 new registries RandomAdapter, SingleResponse and ConnectOnRequestedInterfaceOnly in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters section, and changed their values to 1. Also I have changed the 2 devices adapters Automatic Metric value to 1.

Problem: I want to make use of Network Load Balancing feature in Windows 7. When I am connecting the first one, it works properly and when i m launching knowmyipaddress.com in firefox it correctly shows my ipaddress. Now i m connecting the second(without disconnecting the first) and it successfully connects and again the previous site displays the ipaddress of the second correctly. I have read in some sites that this feature helps in torrent doenloading so when i m running a torrent in utorrent it only uses the second connection. Both r not used at the same time.

I hope i have explained the problem. now plz help me to rectify it. I want to make the two connections to work at the same time while using utorrent.

Have a read of this, it seems to do what you are after if a little long winded:

It would appear that what your are hoping Win7 to do is not possible...the load balancing aspect is not designed to bind two internet sources DSL, Cable etc together creating a 'twice the speed' connection.
Might be worth looking in to Dual WAN routers possibly.

this is a comment made by someone who has tried this method...

Basically you have to run a virtual machine loaded with a UNIX based router operating system. You allow it to access both NIC's, while preventing windows from using either. Then set up a virtual NIC which is served by the VM, and configure windows to route all traffic through it.
I know it seems like more trouble than it's worth, but it really does work. My Bittorent speed has increased from a maximum of 13.6Mbps to at least 21.6Mbps. You can test if it is working by going to a website that tells you your IP. If you hit refresh a few times, the listed IP will change between the two WAN IP's in your setup.

Thanks aich69 for the reply. I once came across this post while I was searching for the solution for my problem. It seemed quite tough so I overlooked it. But now it seems I have no other option left!! Lets try it otherwise..
