Make sure you know what you are talking about before posting ... To answer OP's question, you may need a router that supports load-balancing, Windows will not be able to achieve load-balancing by itself.
the bottle neck is the WAN link in his situation, tho he can do very limited outgoing load balancing by setup 2 static routes with the same metric, the outbound traffic goes out through the same WAN link. I assumed the op has only one high speed internet, but with a wireless router.

No need to be per-packet load balancing and it is undesirable. Depends how the router does the hash, per flow load-balancing would achieve higher throughput if multitasking -- which is very common. OP just needs a small router which has three interfaces, one to PC, the other two will get (DHCP) IP addresses from two ISPs, then configure two static routes on the router with nexthop pointing to ISP's gateway.

you think he has 2 internet connectivities? I understand per flow or per destina tion works better than per packet in a lot of situations, especially for time se nsitive applications, but this isn't the point here. he does NOT have 2 ISPs whi ch I believe so.

OP explicitily said that he/she has two Internet connections, one wireless and one wireline. Why not?! I can get two if I need to. Anyway, I don't think this is how ISP allocate IP addresses, since traffic will be carried over PPPoE, what address mask OP get does not really matter, the 7 (or 5) IPs OP get will not be effectively in a Ethernet LAN environment, traffic between those IPs will be bridged/routes to ISP IP gateway. Make sense?

heihei, do you believe the op doesn't know what he was talking about? if that statement is from a professional network engineer, I read it as it appears. otherwise, I would read it from his point of view. as I said in the first reply, the situation is most likely like this, the op has a laptop, which has a wifi interface and a wired interface, and his router is a consumer level wireless router, say linksys, that laptop can certainly get 2 IPs from this single wireless router.

Consider the following situation. A person has his/her own home internet connection (wired), and can also get access to a wireless router in a neighboring apartment. He/she would like to take the adavantage of the additional wireless connection, but WindowsXP routes all the traffic via the wired interface only. Believe it or not, I was asked the question mentioned above by a friend who does not have much knowledge about networking.

the reason for the windows machine to pick up the wired interface as the default is that the wireless route metric is higher than the wiredroute. do a "route print" on the windows machine, you can see that you have 2 default gateways, one is the wired with metric of 1, and the another is the wireless with metric of 5. you can change the wireless metric to 1, then you will have 2 ECMP routes. I am not sure how windows OS handles ECMP routes, do me a favor, capture the packets and post the results

If doable, per-destination load balancing is the only way to go. Because most download are TCP-based. Multiple routes per TCP connection will cause out-of-order delivery. TCP by nature will treat any out-of-order packet as a result of congestion, thus triggering slow-start procedure, which will impact the throughput severely.

Agree, but it is not the performance issue. It won't work at all if it's not per-destination based, the different source IP from different ISP will break the TCP session immediately. Also the SOHO stateful firewall will block it too.
