[Help or Request?] for 2 Internet "connections" (same ISP but 2 different IP)

[Kasimodo]

Hello,

I have 2 networks. I talk about 2 public IPs. One with Ethernet card linked to my modem, other one via Wifi to ISP from my neighbour and friend.
So I wonder if I have 2 News Servers with 2 accesses (so 2 accounts), can I configure Alt.Binz to use first IP with first news server account and second ISP network with second NewsServer account to boost mu bandwidth?
Because, otherwise, I belive that Alt.Binz will use ALL servers in teh same time. So NewsServer will see 2 IPs for a same account and will stop one...

Not sure to be clear but english is not my natural language. Sorry about that.
Best regards

I understand perfectly what you want. I had same situation before and I wasn't able to make one program(altbinz) use both interfaces.
However with some clever routing in Mikrotik I was able to get the results.

Thank you for your fast reply (and to have understood what I meant).

It seems that Windows can use 2 different networks so it was probably the first thing I had to do (see support, in french Sorry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646791).
But you say that it's not really the problem...
So I will have to use "some clever routing" to do this? I have 2 routers for testing this if you can put me on the right way (  ;-)  ). I have no knowledge of routing (really nothing) but maybe you could try to give me a boost. Only if you have some time and patience.

First is a WRT350N withh DD-WRT firmware, that I don't use anymore but.... why not for testing something. Other is a WNR3500L v1 with Tomato firmware from Shibby (http://tomato.groov.pl/).
It seems that this one (I talk about firmware not router) is better that first.

So ?

Otherwise forget it... it's not very important but if you can.... :-)
Anyway thank you for your job.
King regards.

I had a very similar issue at a past residence. Unless I'm missing some part of what you're saying - this is honestly pretty much impossible though because of how DHCP works and how computers receive their internal network IP address; it'll cause an IP address conflict unless you log into both routers, turn DHCP and do a TON of tweaking.
So... A way around that would be to install a virtual PC on your computer; and access the LAN Ethernet connection from it (assuming you have the licenses to install another instance of Windows or whatever OS you run) and then use the Wireless on your Computer.
Run Alt.Binz on both with the same login settings (hopefully that doesn't break any contributor rules running a paid version from two IPs at once...)
You may get a 503 too many connections error or something along those lines from your usenet provider (in which case try to split up the number of connections in settings between the two)... or it might just work like magic without further tweaking.

OR you could purchase a license to Octopus+ because I hear that works but haven't personally tried it so I can't give you 100% recommendation on that.

Good luck

Possible solution:
-Make 2 completly separeate copies of altbinz (make sure each got their own misc folder in their root)
-run first copy, it will use default nic with default gateway
-visit: http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/forcebindip/ and download the program and unapck it somewhere
-start second copy:
forcebindip.exe ip_on_the_second_adapter c:\altbinz_2nd_copy\altbinz.exe -mi
or
forcebindip.exe -i ip_on_the_second_adapter c:\altbinz_2nd_copy\altbinz.exe -mi

Post the results

Another possible solution that could allow to use only one altbinz copy:
-setup stunnel (https://www.stunnel.org) to use one server and run it via forcebindip
-setup altbinz with multiple servers, 2nd news server and localhost(which will be stunnel)

Thank you but...
I've already found the solution to use a virtual machine.
But what I would prefer is to use only one Alt.Binz session to download the same file quicker. Just to boost my download, not to have multiple downloads in the same time.
Because if I just have one big file to download, I coulnd't use these solutions. So i would like to have only one solutions for all.

2nd one should allow you just that.

Ah ok. I haven't understood.
So I will give it a try.
