I manage a network of about 30 users running on Server 2000. We currently use dsl..the dsl modem plugs directly into the switch. We recently added 2 T1s. I was wondering if I could use both the dsl and T1 at the same time for combined bandwidth. Also I'm having problems getting the T1 to work. I installed a cheap router for the T1. If i plug a computer directly to the router...everything works fine. If i plug the signal from the router to the switch...the Internet does not work (well I got it to work on only one computer which is really weird)????
 
It is theoretically possible to loadshare across multiple, diverse links, but you will probably not be using your "cheap router" to do it. Most reputable routers, like even a low-end Cisco should work.

Probably the reason that you have problems when you connect the T-1s to your existing network is a routing issue. Are you defining the correct default routes when you connect the T-1s, or not changing anything?
