Is anyone familiar with Shotgunning, it is not used as
widely anymore but the conecpt is of course.. 2 dialup
modems, 2 phone lines, 2 accounts w/ the isp, double the
bandwidth (in theory =)) .
I have a customer who formated their XPP machine and they
are no longer able to connect to their ISP using this
connection method. It worked fine before so YES the isp
does support this type of connection. The setup is 2
modems, one is a crappy lucent winmodem which i think
might be part of the problem, and the other is a
USRobotics. If the customer tries and connects
individually to the isp w/ 1 connectiond then yes it
establishes the connection without a problem (Both modems
are able to)
If we try to connect at the same time 1 will connect w/o a
problem but the other one gives an error 733 (something of
that nature) and says remote computer did not respond.
The isp indicates that the problem is the modem is trying
to dial the SAME user account for both modems and it needs
to be different on each one.
I am not familiar with where to set this up, doing some
research of my own I understand there is supposed to be a
protocol installed on the connectiod, like when we go to
Network connections and go to advanced / advanced settings
then RAS connections, but the customer (and my own comp)
list no protocols for the modem or any ras connections. I
am completely out of ideas, I have tried running the netsh
add multilink (not sure of the exact syntax) but to me
that appears to be more for a Server OS and not XPH/XPP
If someone had any information about what protocol I need
to install / instructions on how to get 2 modems to use
the same connectiod, but different logins for the isp I
would really reallly really appreciate it.

Oh trust me i have gone over that article and have
searched the entire KB for any other solutions
the only thing relevant to my problem in this situation
would be:
//-----------------
<b>Note that if you use Multilink to dial a server that
requires callback, only one of your Multilink devices is
called back. This occurs because you can store only one
number in a user account. Therefore, only one device
connects and all other devices do not connect; your
connection loses Multilink functionality. You can avoid
this problem:
If the phonebook entry for the Multilink connection uses a
standard modem configuration, and the remote access server
that your connection is calling uses more than one line
for the same number.
If the phonebook entry for the Multilink connection is
ISDN with two channels that have the same phone number.</b>
\\-----------------
The only thing I am asking is where to configure multiple
user accounts or which protocol I need to install inorder
for this to take place
The article you mentioned does talk about the problem and
mentions a phonebook entry..... where can i modify this
phonebook entry.. it really does not say. It says to go
into the network connections and go to the properties of
the connectiod but I have been over every setting in there
and every tab and find nothing of related material
