2 Wireless adapters on the 1 PC?

[Magatame]

I have 2 wireless adapter, one which gets a better signal and so downloads and surfs the internet faster. The 2nd one I have however is more compatible with my PC and can play Minecraft (the first one causes minecraft to crash). I was wondering if it would be possible to use both?

I would like to use one for basically everything except minecraft, preferably running both adapters off the 1 internet connection although I do have access to my neighbours internet (I have there permission to access it)

Also would it be possible for me to use 2 network adapters and combine the speed of my internet with my neighbours?

okay, you can't combine the 2 internet connections.

you can however direct some traffic over 1, and some over the other... unfortunately the only way I know to do this is to manually add each site to the routing table.

once both your wireless adapters are connected...
1) ipconfig /all
note the ip address of the adapter that works with minecraft (we'll call it 192.168.0.2)
2) nslookup www.minecraft.com (or whatever the site is) - eg 81.200.64.50
3) route add -p 81.200.64.50 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.2

repeat for each internet site you want to route over that wifi adapter.

AFAIK you can use both and set them up as two separate adaptors on your PC then manually switch between the connection you want depending if you are playing Minecraft or not...

Good advice m8.

Ive tried adding that command you said but this is what it says:

add -p 203.27.227.91 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.1
route: bad argument 192.168.0.1

Ive tried every IP for that connection it shows but it says the same thing :|

EDIT - Got it working, just had to remove the 255.255.255.255 :D Will this stay linked even after I restart and what not? As long as the connection is available?

Also, is there anyway I can get the IP of things like World of Warcraft and route them across? How would I get the world of warcraft server IP?

[Spaceboy]

sorry, it's been a while :D

the "-p" means permanent, so it should stick across reboots :)

Did it work ?

[Magatame]

Yea it works great! Is there anyway for me to set it to work with World of Warcraft?

[Spaceboy]

now you're asking!!

Unfortunately WoW uses a number of different IP addresses... basically, do an nslookup on eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com

stick that/those ip(s) as above... if it fails to use it, do another nslookup and repeat :D

Found an easier way :P Gave it a google and got a list of all the WoW EU Serverlist Data Center IPs :D Just entered my servers IP and it works great!
