Hi Alan et al
Many thanks for your time on this.
I was referring to the client end.
An EDGE terminal is a phone that has the capability of connecting to the
internet. We use mobile phones to make a voice call that make use of a circuit
switched connection. By using a GPRS connection we can use the mobile device to
connect to the packet switched domain. You might have heard about making data
connection using your phone like GPRS, 3G etc. EDGE is just faster than a GPRS
connection and 3G is supposedly faster than GPRS and EDGE.
May be I can give you more information about what I am trying to do. So you
can understand what I am trying to achieve. Basically, I am trying to decide
whether I should change my ADSL fixed solution to a higher speed connection
using a mobile solution. Where I live the mobile operator is offering a mobile
solution which is cheaper than my fixed solution
.and is faster than my ADSL
connection, please read on
I have my ADSL broadband connection to my service provider that I use to
connect to the internet. I have just bought a GPRS/EDGE/3G terminal and wanted
to benchmark the speed I am getting by using my mobile device as opposed to my
fixed connection.
My desktop machine is connected to my ADSL provider using a USB modem which
is assigned a particular COM port on my machine. Then I have connected my
mobile handset also using a USB connection connected to a different COM port.
Now I have two ip addresses
ADSL COM port 4 with ip addres from my ADSL service provider
Mobile Handset COM port 5 with another ip address from my mobile provider
I have written a script that connects to a ftp server within my home country
and downloads a file. But this script uses one of the connections above. There
must be away to tell the script and control which connection to use. So I can
get to see real time which connection is faster. So I can run the script
pointing to one IP address and at the same time run another script using the
other connection.
I think there must be a method that finds out which connection is connected
to which com port and then in my script I need to point towards that connection
so my script knows which channel to use when downloading the file.
I hope this helps sorry for too much text couldnt really find a simpler way
to explain this.
Once again I really appreciate the help on this forum...../Ray

Do you mean you want the server on the laptop accepting
using two connections or do you mean that you want
the client on the laptop and have different sessions sending
outgoing requests to the server via two different IP addresses?
If the former its easy, just set up two servers, one on each
IP address. The port will nbe the same on both, ISTR its port
21 for ftp?
If you want to specify which IP address you send the
client request from, I'm afraid I have no idea how you specify
that. I've only ever used multiple network cards at the server
end!

As a matter of interest what is an EDGE terminal?
A new term for me...

Until we know which end you mean its hard to hgive more
specific advice.
