Proxy

[ace_sajet]

Ok heres a real tough one

When we use a proxy to connect IE through HTTP ...the proxy server being on LAN...and if the proxy client comp itself has another internet access of its own..Does the proxy specified add to the bandwidth of does it only use the proxy bandwidth and not the client internet access...I have already asked this before...Is it possible to join these two connections and get a larger bandwidth...It is possible to join multiple proxy connection to get larger bandwidth

please Reply.....

if i understand you correctly, are you asking if you setup a proxy and use the bandwidth from there in addition to your LAN's ISP? If so, then i dont think so, you cant add bandwidth to your internet via a proxy.

i think he is wondering if by redirecting thru the use of the proxy actually eats up some bandwidth on the network.

im not really sure about that. . .

sorry

i think hes asking if you can join the two.

bridge?

but both connections would still be going throgh the same ISP/router... So no.. no more speed increase. If you had a friend with an ISP upstairs with WIFI, and your own connection, it might work.

I dont think i was clear in my previous post...

I have two sources of internet...

Source 1 ---My broadband connection using pppoe adapter...which i dial up

Source 2 ---My friends proxy server on my LAN (the same broadband LAN)..to access which i have to configure my IE proxy settings

My broadband user account is limited to 35kbps. I could get a 256kbps account if i paid more. My friend also uses a 35kbps account. As my LAN maximum bandwidth is 100mbps..And both the sources i am deriving from LAN..why cant i add these two connection to get a 70kbps bandwidth.

Thanks for the replies
