Hello i am stuck with a big problem...would be glad if you could help me clear it out. I hava explained the complete situation which will make you understand what my exact problem is and what i want:
I am having a
single PC with OS as Windows XP Professional SP2 with all latest updates applied and all firewall disabled. I am living in a hostel, and here I don’t exactly know what kind of internet connection it is (DSL, Cable etc. don’t know which one), but the
server is surely firewall protected and the ip address is always provided from the proxy server. The
ip address is constant for each and every NIC MAC address. I have got a limitation of download every month but unlimited upload on the internet. The
speed of this upload connection is approx. 100kbps, which I have seen practically from my pc. (say this as my
Hostel connection)
Now to overcome the limitation of download every month I took a
private DSL connection, which has 3mbps download rate and upload rate approx. 30 kbps. This
DSL connection works using PPPoE protocol and I need to create a new connection for this in windows. I have to login every time in order to use this DSL connection, without that the internet won’t work using this DSL connection. (say this as my
DSL connection)
Now, I want to serve as well as download files using IRC, for this I want to configure the IRC in such a way that files are downloaded using my DSL connection (since I don’t have any limitation on amount of download for this connection) and uploading files using my hostel connection (since the upload rate is much higher for this connection).
I have made the network connections to my system as follows:
To make this possible, what I did is I installed IRC program two times. IRC 1 for just uploading files and IRC 2 for just downloading files. So, what now I have planned to do is…I start
IRC 1 (which is only for uploading) first, so that it gets connected using the
hostel connection and then I connect and login to my
DSL connection and start
IRC 2 (which is for downloading) so that by default
IRC 2 selects
DSL connection for downloading files.
Theoretically for me, this should work right!? But it isn’t the
IRC 1 connection automatically gets refreshed and it also start using
DSL connection and the uploading rate gets decreased. I hope you understood what I exactly want now!!!
Actually, it would have been good if we could have been given an option in windows for specifying which connection to use for connecting to internet for every program…
Apart from this I also tried, making the connections following way:
I thought the problem might be because of the switch, so I removed the switch from the connections and connected the cables directly to two different NIC’s. Now I tried to connect the IRC 1 and IRC 2 in the similar manner as I said before…like I start IRC 1 before and then logging in to DSL connection and start IRC 2. But with this connection also I am facing the same problem like I was having before.
I am thinking that instead of puzzling around network connections, if somehow, i can manage to find or give a option in mIRC regarading the connection to use when connecting to internet then i guess my problem would be solved. Anyone knows where i can find or give this option in mIRC???
Is there any solution for my problem??? Please help!!!Many Thanks
