connecting to multiple hotspots

Dear all,

I was just wondering: Can I wireless connect my laptop (XP) to multiple
hotspots and bundle the connections? One of my neigbours forgot to enable
wep, so I was thinking to bundle his adsl connection into mine.

Any thoughts in this ng would be appreciated

tks
dickie

Is this guy for real?

yes

In the unlikely case you didn't know, that's called theft, like in stealing.

Theoretically it is possible, but requires two wireless links (laptops with
a built in wireless links usually don't allow a cardbus or USB wireless link
also)...May I suggest finding a free neighborhood hotspot that has cable
instead of DSL? I have 768k ADSL, and was looking into it, until I found out
Adelphia cable (in Coeur D'Alene Idaho) has almost 3000k downloads (yes,
almost three thousand.. actually 2978k) on cable! Drove down to the local
computer place (that had a free hotspot) and did the sp2 download in a few
minutes.

I know, I totally agree with you.

Just for your information it's just a test. I am just wondering whether this
would be possible.

What do you mean? That it's not possible with one wireless card?

to get an answer to your question you should have left out the juicy
detail that gets all the attention.

but .. (if i may speak freely) i cant see any reason why it would not be
possible, except that there isnt any software available that could do it.

He means no.

You can't connect one PC to two wireless networks with one card, and even
if you could, or if you used two cards, you could not use both to connect
to the internet simultaneously as traffic will only route to one gateway.

To use 2 or more broadband connections as a single connection, you need
something called bonding, which some top-end routers and security devices
can do. Its quite expensive and I'm not aware of any wireless bonding
solutions of the sort that would link multiple APs to form a single virtual
network.
