How do I use my AT&T Worldnet connection and my broadband connection together without losing my broadband speed?

0

AT&T Worldnet internal servers (Member Services, PWP and to some extent, mail and news) are behind a firewall and only accessible from a dial up connection. Windows will always use the dial up as the default connection, thereby slowing down your surfing when using dial up and broadband (cable or DSL) together. Some members have both broadband connections and AT&T Worldnet accounts. They wanted to use the speed of broadband, but also needed to keep the AT&T Worldnet dialup, as that is the only way to access newsgroups, member services and PWP. So, they wrote a vbs script that sets up a routing table so when you dial in, you don’t loose the surfing speed of the broadband… only the AT&T Worldnet things will go through the modem.
