Switching between 2 Adsl accounts
Hey all again, another question
Here is my setup.
Vista business connected via a ADSL router through network, no USB. I have some VPC running.
Question 1 - Is there a way to switch between accounts instantly. Maybe a 1 or 2 second disconnect and then reconnect. Can this only be done by loggin into your router and putting your other accounts details and saving the settings - this takes about 2 - 5 minutes. What I am really looking for is right clicking something and selecting the account not in use ( credentails already in there etc) and clicking connect. Something to that effect.
Question 2 - How does one use the International bandwidth account to log in a game which requires handshaking with servers overseas and then using the LOCAL only bandwidth to play the game. For instance for Battlefield 2 you need to log into EA accounts which is hosted at EA but the server is here in SA.
Question 3 - Is it possible for my VPC to use a local only account to say download torrents etc while I use the PC to play a game with my international account.
Some background - You may say to your self, why oh why does this one want to change accounts, you can buy a uncapped account for $ 20 a month or whatever. WRONG. Im in south africa, there is no such thing. We have hard capping and the only big accounts we can get at an affordable but still mad price is local only bandwidth. We use the local only account to download from newsgroups which is hosted internationally but somehow (I dont know) gets cached locally so we are able to get it.
Thanks for your time.

Answer 1: If your only using the one Modem.. you can script the change .. run the script and account changed.. does depend of what services are supported by the Modem..
Answer 2: NO.. when you change accounts your IP will change and the handover between servers will fail.. or more the time to change accounts could see you out of the game..
Answer 3: If you use 2 Modems.. 2 accounts simultaneously .. some routers support load balancing.. but a bit of fiddling with the settings and you can force accounts to be used by one pc (I have not tried particular service/Application)
I was a bit confused by your Local and international Accounts.. Man I thought it was a pig being in Aus.. but that is worse.. .. As for what your doing.. why not do a bit of Trolling of the Smoothwall forums.. or even IPCOP.. if nothing you will get a bit of an insight to other wonderful projects...

I know this can be done. There was a utility there everyone was using over here for this kind of thing about a year ago, jsut cant remember what utility it is.
Thanks for the response but you are going to have to explain it in much more detail - I will goolgle most of the terms you used though and see what comes out of it.
Thanks for the reply

Would have to be a utility suited for online gaming.. so something I haven't needed or tripped over.. srry
you dont have to google to far to find smoothwall.org or ipcop.org then hunt the forums/community ..
but certainly come back with any questions
