Snakefoot's site describes the registry entries invovled under Win2K :

But as you are on a single MAC authorized connections to your cable ISP, there is nothing to balance.

Add a second ISP provider, as you will never through cable get two authorizations.

I do have two mac addresss cause i have two cable modems..Y would i need another isp for??

My ISP, (at least) will not bill two network connections to the same account, you would at least need two accounts with the same ISP. In fact I reccommend seperate ISPs for fail over one cable, one DSL

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

I used a dual WAN router, a nexland 800pro turbo, nexland was bought by Symantec.

Two cable modems does not equal two authorized MAC addresses.

jimbopalmer's advice, assuming a cable + DSL connection is correct.

You will not be able to use two cable modems with MAC authentication in any circumstance.
