Hi, I need a help on Linux routing, if you have some sparse time. I'm based in Madagascar and my English is not good; so please forgive me.
*What I want to come-up with: *My main goal is to download using two modems at the same time, and combining their bandwidth, but I have failed miserably. The reason is this: our country is still using poor slow internets, and I have seen on the Internet the various ways of combining several Internet connections into one single connection, to get a higher bandwidth. *What I have:* I have 2 modem, 2 accounts on the 1 same ISP. I have tried using openSUSE 10.2 and Gentoo 2007.0, but none of them satisfied my deep need. *What I have tried already:* I have been spending days on the Routing guide that you provided on http://lartc.org/howto/, but I have failed miserably to make it work, and my Internet connection is all broken when I try it. I'm not a Network expert, and I'm so confused by what all the addresses, interfaces, ... that need to be configured. Multilinking doesn't work either, and so, routing is the last resort. *The problems that I'm facing:* My connection is broken whenever I tried using the multilinking routing techniques that you showed on the site. And I thus have to reboot everytime it gets broken. Here is what my ip shows me, as you instructed in the guide: _Using 1 modem only: _ # ip route show 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 62.56.163.150 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 # ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 18: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 3 link/ppp _Using both modem:_ # ip route show 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 62.56.163.150 2.2.2.2 dev ppp1 proto kernel scope link src 62.56.163.135 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 # ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 18: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 3 link/ppp 19: ppp1: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 3 link/ppp I'm just asking you to help me, of course, if you have time. I'm desperate to have this thing working, and I can issue any commands that you ask into my system, if you need to. Thanks a lot. Zedeck. PS: Current system is Gentoo 2007.0.
