actually i m interested to set up a kind of failover dual-wan setup as traffics r mainly HTTP, POP3/SMTP, IM n once in while VPN/RDC/VNC to desktops at customer sites. the main concern is, HTTP as our job deals with web-based developments. double the speed is not quite an issue as current 1mbps HTTP connection will b more than enough to cater the clients. Only thing is the current router modem seems to die off when number of clients increase.

thanks for clarifying the issue!
will try to set up a terminal when i get the access to a free desktop unit.

I see, so what you want is High-Availability(HA) not High Performance(HP). If i recall correctly, you'll need a daemon to monitor line status. If fail, then failover.. maybe this site could help you:

hi, thanks bro.
but i m very very new to linux, especially this type of router configurations. the most i did on linux was to boot off the ubuntu live cd.
any recommended config, like ipcop to put up a working router first? (put aside the multi wan thing n as long as i can control audio streaming as it created havoc in the office network)
any more links to read? notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

no no no..u wilson88 are wrong.
ipcop acts like a router it it givs NAT service to yout network computers. You can use 56k or ISDN modem to connect to internet too.but there's no point sharing that 56k dial up speed among ur computers rite? laugh.gif
How abt reading my tutorial in my link that i've posted in my 1st post? It's abt from installing the ipcop up until setting up streamyx account. With screenshots of course for easier understanding.

For audio streaming control, you'll need to install extra Advance Qos. You can apply rules for audio streamings. like say..reserve or limit 20% of the bandwidth for it
