    Question Three NICS

    Ok, I have been looking everywhere for some possible way of doing this. I have a computer with three NIC's. Now, two of the NIC's connect to different networks, (each get 100 mbit/sec). Now, let's say I was downloading something through bittorrent. I want to be able to use both NIC's to theoretically double the amount of data I can download/upload. However, the current setup will just use one of the cards. How can I share the load between the two nic's? And then, on the third NIC, I want to be able to put a cat5 cable from that network adapter and put it into a router which can be used for wireless internet. Any thoughts? If you are confused I am putting two cat5 cables into two nic cards in one pc. Each cat5 cable connects to a different network. I want to share the download between the two nic's, and then use the third nic as a bridge to a router for wireless internet. Hope yall can help us out here, cause we're lost!

    One of the Possiblities is Installing a "Load Balancing Card" this will allow you to balance the Network Load...Also your looking at probably having too use a Server O/S to also accomadate the Load Balancing Features of the Card or Router...

    Here are some Network Links for you too look over that points you in the direction you need too go..
