Bonding two separate broadband connections into 1 aggregated circuit

I have been tasked to take 2 separate 50Mb broadband internet connections and bond them into a single 100Mb circuit.  This faciility will use Comcast Business Class broadband which I'm assuming will consist of an ISP coax cable connected to a modem with an ethernet handoff.
I am wondering if this is even possible?  I thought of ether-channel but that requires both ends of the ethernet to be configured which is not possible here. How about using a load balancer or WAN accelerator ( I have little knowledge of both of these devices) ? 

There might be an easy solution to this if you consider bonding above the IP layer rather than a hardware solution. Sharedband.com provide the software but it might be pushing it to achieve 100mb as currently the fastest Linux routers they have are limited by the processor but it might be worth exploring.

  • Merging two separate MUSE sites into a single MENU system and Paid & online BC eCommerce site

    Hi all! I am stuck trying to figure out a Process Conundrum:
    1> I have a BC site with e-commerce ready to go - paid - online with store template in place.
    2> I also Have a 2nd MUSE created web site (with the client content/pages) that needs to merge with that E-commerce BC site. 
    What is the move to merge the two separate sites into a single site with the Menus all in proper order?
    Is this simple and I can not see it? (merge the two sites in a folder and reopen in muse for new menus?
    Or do i need Dreamweaver to assist in the merge?
    In other words:
    What is the PATH/PROCESS to merge a 2nd MUSE designed web site (sans e-commerce), in order to tie into the online BC e-commerce template paid site - so the menus update together as "one" site?
    Menu Update Concern:  merging two separate MUSE sites into a single MENU system with the "Paid on line Active BC e-commerce Template". How do it do it Process wise so that the menus adjust automatically... so they are "one" menu.
    Reminds me of an old joke: Q: "What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor at the ball park?"
    A: "Make me one with everything!"
    ONWARD>>>>>
    Possible paths I am about to take attempting to Solve the problem - and scale the learning curve...
    download the BC e-commerce site into Dreamweaver -
    export the 2nd muse site by publishing it to a unique folder.
    combine them by going back into dream weaver and attempting to figure out linking the menus. - perhaps they are automatic there too.
    or load them both up to BC and back down to MUSE to fix the menus?
    I appreciate Any recommendations, hits or humor that you could help on this.
    Cheers!

    Thanks, Liam... I will get it eventually...
    Sadly: I do not have a budget to hire this out...
       -  I have gone through lots of the BC and Muse training exercises. Adobe
       and BC Gurus.
    But... if the only problem is that I need to work though my partner site BC
    interface...
       - that would be fine...
       - so would using dream weaver....
    I will go back and review the BC interface and also dreamweaver
    capabilities.
    without a budget... i need to figure it out... please do point to any
    material or training you might be able to point me to.
    I don't have to use muse, if that is my sticking point. I just need to get
    the project up and BC looks perfect.
    Thanks.

  • Is there a  way to merge two separate iTunes accounts into one?

    Is there a  way to merge two separate iTunes accounts into one?  I don't want to "share libraries."  I just want one account that once stemmed from two seperate accounts and has all of the purchases and history.  Thanks for any help!

    No.

  • Can I transfer Time Machine data from two separate hard drives into one new one?

    I'm using a MacBook Pro as my primary computer.  My 500 gig Time Capsule filled up a year or so ago, so I stopped using it with Time Machine for awhile so I could keep the data from those old back-ups.  There were a number of things I deleted from my computer's very limited hard drive after they were backed up to the Time Capsule.  I got a 1T external USB drive last year to use as my "filing Cabinet" to store files I didn't necessarily need all the time or that were filling up my small laptop hard drive--including my iTunes library--all organized in a way that made it relatively easy for me to find what I needed, even if I didn't remember exactly when I'd filed it or what I'd called it.  I got another 1 terabyte external (portable) drive last July and dedicated it to TimeMachine backups and labeled it "TimeMachine".
    Over the last couple of weeks, my friend has been helping me upgrade to Yosemite and clean up my laptop hard drive.  Last week he cloned my laptop hard drive to a new 1T hard drive and I exchanged it for my old drive in my computer today. All good.
    Here's the issue.  We replaced my Time Capsule hard drive with a 1 terabyte drive with the idea of transferring the data from the old Time Capsule (500G) drive and the newer USB 1T "TimeMachine" compact drive to the new 1T Time Capsule drive and beginning using the latter for my Time Machine backups going forward.  Originally he thought we could copy everything from each of my external drives (the old 500gig drive from my Time Capsule, the USB "TimeMachine" drive I've been using since July, and the "file cabinet" files) to my computer in their own folders and then start regular TimeMachine backups to the new Time Capsule drive, thus preserving all my old data and making regular backups going forward.  The "file cabinet" data was no problem at all, but when I tried to copy my USB "TimeMachine" data to my computer, I was unable to.  My friend found instructions for transferring old TimeMachine data to a new TimeCapsule, but I don't know if I can transfer the data from two separate disks to the new TimeCapsule drive. I'm afraid that one set of data will supersede the other and either my newer backups or my old ones will be lost if I try to transfer both. 
    Are my fears justified or is there a way to insure that no such problem will occur?  Of course, my data will still be on those two older drives, but that won't do me a lot of good if I can't access it when I need to. Also, the 1T drive now belongs to my friend; he used a brand new drive he'd bought for himself for my new internal hard drive and plans to take my 1T "TimeCapsule" drive in exchange, once the data has been transferred, so he will, of course, erase that drive. 

    Should we be able to bring up the old (500G) Time Capsule Drive to rename it using a SATA to FireWire harness and then copy the whole thing to the new Time Capsule drive?
    You can copy a whole sparsebundle from one drive to another. That is not a problem. Whether you can access the sparsebundle is something you should test before you even start though.
    If it's on the Desktop and I don't tell Time Machine to exclude it from backups, will it just automatically back it up?
    All drives you plug into the Mac are excluded by default.. you must include them. So no problems there.. but I hope I am understanding the question.
    Will both volumes or directories (which is the right term?) show up when I open Time Machine?
    No, Time Machine will only open what it is told to open... or its backup default location.
    You can force Time Machine to open alternative/old/no longer used backups by (now I have a problem as things have changed somewhat in Yosemite and I consider it alpha release software at this point in time). The old method was to right click on the TM icon and select a different TM backup. easy. Yosemite seems to have made easy stuff harder.
    Here it is on my current computer.. clearly not Yosemite.. Right click on the TM icon in the dock.. select Browse Other Time Machine Disks.. And supply the info of where that is located. Easy. If you cannot figure it out one of the other posters here (with more patience than me for Yosemite) will help you.
    Or will we have to partition the new drive somehow--is that even possible?
    I am getting more lost as I go down the list.. but the TC disk cannot be partitioned.
    If you have included all those USB drives in the new backup on a Time a Time Capsule.. you have made life rather hard because now your files are stored another layer deeper than they were.
    So to open a file from a disk you need to open the sparsebundle.. then dig down to the drive in question and then dig down to the backup.. and all of this means Time Machine has to work perfectly which is Yosemite is a very big ask.
    I thought you wanted to just backup your old drives to central location.. which means copying the files to a separate folder on the Time Capsule.
    One correction I need to make to my post, which will make my strategy make a bit more sense: my new Time Capsule drive is 4T
    It makes it much harder.. and I have to pose a real question of long term .. if you have put a 4TB drive in a Gen1 TC.. did you also replace its power supply because I can assure you the drive might be ok but the TC itself will not last forever.. and what happens when it dies. The Gen1 power supply is already well beyond its normal life span and the vast majority are dead. When the backup device is unreliable and the backups on it are made that much harder to get access to.. is this a great plan??
    If you are going to consolidate all your old files on one disk.. a task I find understandable. I have done much the same albeit the usefulness of files made on emac running OS9 may be questioned. A disk lying in the bottom of a draw is a more appropriate place for them.
    You want those files as easily accessible as possible (at the point of recovery) and not buried inside a sparsebundle.. particularly not a sparsebundle from the old TC disk buried inside a new sparsebundle.. keep files as accessible as possible as you can run searches.. and that is best done on a USB 3 (or faster ie thunderbolt) drive plugged into a new(ish) computer.. not network. And since the files are not being accessed on a daily/weekly or even monthly or yearly basis.. keeping them in actively running TC network storage.. I would say is a waste of space. That is only my opinion of course.. you might consider it highly important that files you will never look at are available any time of day or night when the urge comes to track down that elusive pimpernel email you sent 10 years ago... but I find it hard to justify. What the case.. the problem with TM and things like Mail is you cannot search it.. you must restore the whole library/files/program even before you can access it.. that makes file recovery out of a sparsebundle double step process.
    So.. summary.
    If you want to store files on the 4TB drive in the TC.. that is not a great strategy but it can work.. simply create a folder named.. OldFilesEMac for instance.. and do a simple copy and paste of all the file to that location. Do not use TM.. Since you have already used TM.. and from what I am reading you have already done the backup with the external drives included.. then you are going to end up needing to erase the TC and start over.. which you may not be prepared to do.. which is fair enough. (I am coming across as overbearing school master.. apologies).
    TM is to backup your main OS and current files.. not files from 10-20years ago.
    Please do read the issues involved in Pondini..
    See his FAQ. I recommend you read through Q14-17 so you understand what is involved in recovery.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I also recommend you read the first couple of articles here. http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    Particularly so you understand the complexity of Time Machine.
    And the articles here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Particularly Q3 on mixing data and backups on a TC.
    I wish I could spend an hour or two face to face and work it out.. the whole strategy to do this.. !!

  • How to merge two separate Muse files into one file?

    Have 220 pages built for a website, client wants to add another 180 pages. The Muse file is already slow to load and cumbersome to work with at 220 pages, it's going to be much worse at 400 pages. Is there a way to create two separate Muse files and then merge them prior to publish (or at publish, or post-publish). The only other solution I have is to build the second batch of pages in a separate file, then copy them into the main file one by one. Is there a batch copy/paste? Is there a merge?

    Hello,
    It's not possible to merge muse files as such. The pages have to either be created in the same file or they must be copied over individually later on from the other file to this file.
    Cheers

  • Can I join two separate IMac's into one computer?

    I have two older Intel IMacs.  Is there a way I can join them into one computer with shared displays.

    The answer is no, sorry both probably good machines but simply don't have the ability .However if you want to improve performance on them the best  upgrade you can do is to increase the RAM. Both machines will accommodate up to 6GB of RAM and make the user experience much more pleasurable. You can buy RAM upgrades from reputable sources such as Crucial or OWC (www.macsales.com.)

  • Combining two separate song files

    I'm sure there's a way to combine (merge?) two separate song files into one, but I can't seem to figure it out. When I try to copy & paste multiple audio tracks, pieces get lost. Instrument parameters change, etc. Same with dragging from one Arrange window to another. What's the key? I have created the first part of a song in one file, and the second part in another, and I simply want to combine (really just connect) the two. How?

    yep, btdt.
    frustrating, eh?
    if both files are part of the same song, make each the whole song length,with all tempos, key changes, etc, identical in both.
    this will make it easier to drag and drop or cut and paste as logic has already made the room for the tranfer.
    you could save as OMF then import, but i haven't dealt with this.

  • Can two users on two separate computers share their screens?

    I often conduct training sessions and demos in a conference room with a large monitor mounted on the wall. I often have remote participants, so I use Lync or Live Meeting, along with a dial-in number for the audio.
    Lately I've been wanting to share not just my screen, but also another participant's screen, so I can demonstrate what's happening at both my end and at the participant's end.
    This is not the same thing as sharing two monitors connected to the same computer. This is sharing two separate monitors connected to two different computers, both of them using Lync.
    Is this possible? If so, how?

    Lync will use the MCU fro your conference. You will be able to show both screens but not at the same time.
    You can only show a screen from one presenter at the same time and you have to switch to the other presenter.

  • How to make two mono audio tracks into a stereo pair?

    My video clip, brought over into Premiere CS6 from Final Cut Pro 5, has the usual left and right audio tracks, but in Premiere they are not linked into a stereo pair. Thus the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track.
    In Final Cut, I can quickly convert two independent audio tracks into a stero pair by selecting the tracks and then going to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair.  I can't figure out how to do this in Premiere.
    When two audio tracks are not linked, the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track, which wastes time. But after two tracks are linked into a Stereo Pair in Final Cut, adjusting either track adjusts them both, together. That's what I want to do now in Premiere.
    So, how do I make two separate audio tracks into a linked Stereo Pair in Premiere?

    I need to do in my videos that I either can't do in Premiere or that require involved workarounds like this, things that I can do instantly
    I used to think like you do. These aren't workarounds, per se. The issue is that Premiere Pro is a different program, so you have to approach some things slightly differently.
    Actually, Premiere Pro's audio capability is more like a DAW than Final Cut was, and more powerful too, so if you know that workflow it makes more sense. A lot of FCP people don't have training in programs like ProTools or Audition, so it's more difficult for folks like yourself (and me, too) to catch on. Once you learn it, though, you begin to see its power.
    Tom77 wrote:
    things that I can do instantly with the flick of a keyboard command in Final Cut, such as link and unlink audio tracks.
    In Premiere Pro CC, you can link and unlink audio and video tracks with a keyboard shortcut for "Linked Selection." You have to create it in your Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, but it works just like the one in FCP. Make it Shift + L if you like.
    Tom77 wrote:
    Not to mention the fact that I can have as many projects open in Final Cut as I want, and copy and paste between them. Each open project becomes a tab on the timeline, and I can jump beween projects by just clicking on their tabs. I was shocked when I tried to open two projects in Premiere to find that it only allows one at a time to be open. That seems really primitive--
    Again, you can achieve what you want (copying and using items from other projects), you just have to go about it differently. All you do is navigate to the other project files in the Media Browser and import items that you need in this fashion. So, no, you don't have more than one project open at a time, but you got what you wanted, stuff from another projects in your current project. That works for me, anyway.
    Again, Premiere Pro is a different program. You can achieve the same goals, but sometimes have to go about it differently. Some things are faster, some slower. Some are easier to learn, some harder. Hopefully, you see my point.
    I need video generators to make arrows, circles, squares, etc. and transitions such as edge wipes and clock wipes to animate them, all to point out and emphasize things that I'm demonstrating and explaining in my videos. Premiere has no such generators, nor are there any third-party plug-ins available to add them, that I've been able to find.
    Do you know about the Titler? It has a lot of useful shapes. You can also create shapes in After Effects and Photoshop and import them. The shapes you make in those programs can look a lot better than the stock FCP effects.
    There are lots of third party effects, some that have generators. Check out Boris Continuum, FX Factory, CoreMelt, Film Impact, and more.
    There are pitifully few transitions in Premiere at all (the Mac version) compared to Final Cut.
    I'm really not a transitions person, and I find the FCP transitions looking tired anyway. The only one I really need is a white flash and I can either create it, or use a third party flash effect. If you need cool, modern transitions, check out Film Impact or the other third party plug in foundries I mentioned. There is an Edge Wipe transition, called "Wipe." If you need feathering, check out the Wipe Effect, which you can keyframe to look like a transition.
    More and more I would like to be moving completely into Premiere, but I keep running into these inadequacies in the program, these roadblocks, for my purposes at least.
    The more you work with it, the less you'll be working with FCP. That's what most people are saying anyway. Sure, there are minor annoyances associated with learning a new app, but you also take the good along with it. I suggest you just dive right in. It may take longer at first, but you can get your speed up in time.
    I have no doubt that sometime in the future Premiere will become everything that I want it to be, and at that time I can finally abandon Final Cut for good, as I wish I could do right now.
    I also came from FCP, taught FCP for nearly a decade, wrote a book about FCP, help start the first FCPUG, worked at Apple on two versions of FC Studio, so I do know what you are going through. Just keep at it and keep posting here. I'll be glad to help you with any workarounds or confusion related to moving over from FCP.

  • Enable responses from 2 separate internet connections on the same system

    Hello List
    I am hoping one of the network gurus here can help me out. I've spent quite a few hours trawling these forums and others online to try to find the answer to my question, but success has not been forthcoming.
    My situation is this. I have a system that functions as a server that is connected to two separate internet connections. The G5 tower is hooked up to each via Ethernet. Each connection has a manually configured connection with a fixed IP. The gateways for each are using different IP ranges, the IP for en0 is 10.0.1.59 and en2's IP is 192.168.1.145. They each have different gateways configured as well, 10.0.1.1 and 192.168.1.1 respectively. 192.168.1.145 is the DMZ system for that internet connection. Here is the default entry in the system's routing table:
    Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
    default 10.0.1.1 UGSc 4 8 en0
    I need both interfaces to reply to requests to their public IPs backthrough the correct gateway and not the default gateway. This is because of bandwidth constraints and the need to perform nightly backups of substantial amounts of data from our business hour VOIP connection, but allow the existing default gateway to remain first in the network service order list.
    I have thus far tried the following based on what I could learn from this and other forums across the Web. I have enabled forwarding with the following command:
    sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
    Then I have applied a fwd rule to ipfw that purports to route requests made to the en2 local address back through the correct gateway:
    sudo ipfw add fwd 192.168.1.1 ip from 192.168.1.145 to not 192.168.1.145 out
    However, this does not work and there is no response from en2 gateway when trying to access the system from that gateway's public IP.
    Can anyone see something obvious that I'm missing or point me at an online resource that will let me figure out how to get this working?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I sounds like what you need is a static route to the IP address of whatever is on the other end of the Retrospect request. The command would look something like this:
    sudo route -n add -host host_address -gateway router_address
    where host_address is the IP address of whatever the Retrospect request is going to, and router_address is the gateway you want it to go out of.
    A caveat here is that the route entry does not survive a reboot, so you'd want to create a startup item, or preferably a launch daemon to do this for you automatically on startup.

  • Can Preview combine separate PDF files into one?

    I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs.  Can I merge them into one account under one ID?  I have purchased music and video in both.

    No, it is not possible to merge accounts.  Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.
