Howzit guys.

I'm trying to configure my router/modem. Not having much luck with it though.

Problem:

I have two ISP accounts with two different ISPs. Now, I would like to know how or is it possible to have one computer connected to the router connected to ISP One and the rest of the computers connected to ISP Two?
Someone mentioned bridging the router, however I am not too sure on how to do that really.

The router is a: Shiro DSL805EW

Any advice guys/girls?

Much appreciated! :cool:
 
Turn off DHCP on the router connected to ISP One, then on the computer you want to connect through ISP One, set the IP static and set the gateway to that of the router controlling ISP One.

The rest of the machine will get an auto IP via DHCP from router for ISP Two (and so the gateway will be set to that router) and use that.
 
Not sure if it would work as i have never tried it myself, but the way i would assume it could be done is have the 2 routers connected to a switch (DHCP has to be disabled on one of the routers), then connect all computers to that switch. Then you can change the network settings from automatical configure private network to manual config, and set whichever router you want as the gateway. So 1 computer would set router 1 as its gateway, and the others would set router 2 as its gateway.
 
one way or another you have to log onto the two isps implying a router or modem router with 2 different wan interfaces or 2 modems or modem routers.

Are they both adsl isp's?
