Hell my friends! I need your help with Multilinking. I have two different brands of pci modems installed on a WinXP box. I have tried setting them up as two separate connections and also both modems on one single network connection. I have played around with the different settings such as MultiLink on just one modem and then tried MultiLink on both modems. Tried different settings on the Multiple Devices settings box. I have on a couple of occasions been able to get both modems to dial out and connect to the internet but I either get a message that they won't link and my second connection hangs up or they both stay connected but just won't share the load. Now, my ISP does say they support MultiLinking but I haven't actually signed up for it yet. Do they have to throw the switch for it on their end before it will work? I have used two different user accounts while working on this so that isn't the problem. One thing I have noticed is that both modems are using IRQ 9. I show no conflicts and again, I can get both modems to dial in and connect to the internet. Could there still be a problem with the IRQ's being the same? I have found no info on the proper way to do this. I'm not even sure I can use two internal pci modems to do this. Do I have to use dual external modems? I did see that I could purchase a box with 2 modems built in for this reason but it was about $600 and I don't think I want to spend that much. BTW, I live in the country. No cable or DSL and the network I need to access is VPN and I understand satellite doesn’t play well in that environment. If you can provide any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.
