Use Two Internet Connections On One Computer At the Same Time

I can understand your way of thinking that this guy is not worth reading but I am sure that after reading this article you will surely say that it is possible to use two internet connection on a single PC at the same time without any problem. For this purpose you need to have two Ethernet cards on your PC.

ForceBindIP is a freeware Windows application that will inject itself into another application and alter how certain Windows Sockets calls are made, allowing you to force the other application to use a specific network interface / IP address. This is useful if you are in an environment with multiple interfaces and your application has no such option for binding to a specific interface.

Tested Programs

Tested programs are given as under;

DC++, uTorrent, Quake II, Quake III, Diablo II, StarCraft, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Earth, Infantry, Real Player, Unreal Tournament 2004 (requires -i), Outlook 2000 (requires -i). Programs that do not work include GetRight (anti-debugger / forking techniques), WinCVS (forks cvs.exe)

Usage

ForceBindIP has no graphical interface. You must configure it like a command-line application. To run ‘app.exe’ and force it to bind to 1.2.3.4, you would run ForceBindIP as follows:

ForceBindIP 1.2.3.4 c:fullpathtoapp.exe

Note: Replace 1.2.3.4 with your IP Address

Note that the full path is required; if the path contains spaces, it must be quoted. ForceBindIP can also take the GUID of an interface if for example the IP address is dynamic. To find out the GUID of your interface, run regedit and browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParametersInterfaces.

Find the interface which has the dynamic address and then copy the key name. You can then run ForceBindIP as follows:

ForceBindIP {4FA65F75-7A5F-4BCA-A3A2-59824B2F5CA0} c:pathtoapp.exe

Command line options for the target program may also appear after the path to the executable if needed.

Version 1.2 also provides an optional -i parameter. If you find your chosen application crashes on startup or exhibits other unexpected behavior, try using -i, eg:

ForceBindIP -i 1.2.3.4 c:fullpathtoapp.exe

This will cause the ForceBindIP loader to wait until the application has entered its message loop before injecting the interception DLL. Note however that any calls that the application makes to Winsock prior to the DLL being loaded will not have been bound to the chosen interface.

ForceBindIP-1.2a.zip (8 KiB). Manual installation, this is just a zip of the required files. Note that BindIP.dll MUST reside in windowssystem32 for the program to function.
