Thread: Many MAC for same PC

Hi!

Is it possible to have 2 or 3 MAC id's for the same PC at the same time.
For instance, if I purchase 3 network cards to add on to my PC, and I have 3 differnt ISP's will it work? If it does, can I specify which all application get to use which all ISP?

Yes, if you use 3 LAN cards your PC can connect with 3 different MAC IDs.

If it does, can I specify which all application get to use which all ISP?

Yes. Plug in the corresponding ethernet cables from different ISPs to these LAN cards and try an application called Forcebind IP. There are certain things you should know

1. The set up is complicated.

2. You cannot use " Obtain IP address automatically " as it may result in IP conflict. This may in effect will not allow you to use more than one system at a time with same ISP.

3. You will not get combined speed even though you plug in 3 connections.

Discussion in this thread may be useful.
