I need to hook two cable modems up to form one connection. I know it will not be a true one connection. I need an external device (switcher or router) in order for me to do this. Internet connection sharing will not work with ethernet connections only RAS? Could i create a linux box as a gateway or something. I need some advice on how i should go about doing this. If i said anything wrong pls correct me. It is possible to do it, i know that, but how is where i am stuck. Any help would be grateful.


OS Windows 2000 pro
Cable Modems 2 Motorola surfboard 4100 docsis
Two ehternet cards

I am also wandering if there is software out there that will do it.

My bf and are both hooked up to a D-link hub. There we can both hook our computers up to the cable internet.
