Connecting Skype to a Secondary Internet Connectio...

Our internet connection is through a VPN connection to your home office. This adds allot of latency to a skype call depending on where we are calling. We discussed adding a second DSL line in the office to only use for skype.
There are several ways to hook all this up, but we have to keep it simple so we will just add a second network card to the PCs that need to access the new DSL line to use Skype.
BUT, I am not sure how we could configure Skype to use the second NIC? All we will use that connection for is Skype calls as all our company resources are accessed over the VPN!
Hope that is clear enough and not a stupid question! I am not a networking giant as you can see!

  • HT4108 Can you connect an iPad to any TV to Skype or use the Internet?

    Can an I pad connect to any TV in order to Skype or use the Internet?

    No, you will need a computer that can be host for the USB dongle.
    Unless your dongle has hotspot functionality (can create littlle private wireless network), then you should be able to connect to it.

  • Skype Calls disconnect my internet.

     Hello, 
    I'm having a really annoying problem here. Skype calls disconnect my internet at random intervals. It ONLY happens when I am in a Skype CALL. I could be gaming, or just minding my own business (staring at my desktop) and it will happen. I've tried several solutions but none of them seem to work. I've disabled uPnP.
    I've used a port anywhere between 1000 and 65000.
    I've checked and uncheck the "Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections" multiple times. It never works.
    Usually what I do is disconnect my computer from the router, and then reconnect it quickly, and it sets everything back to normal. (Normal internet connection). However, if I dont do that my internet will just stay disconnected for an extended period of time. (1-5 minutes, 5 being the longest I've experienced).
    I run on Windows 7.
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials.
    My Skype version is 6.21.0.104
    Please let me know if you need anymore information to solve my problem.

    That sounds like an issue with your router.  Try bypassing your router to see what happens.  If you router has any firmware updates available, apply them.

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • How do I connect my Centro to the Internet via bluetooth over PC's Internet? Where is Centro's PPP Connection Type? How do I setup Login Script for bluetooth connection?

    I am trying to set up bluetooth on the Centro to connect to the internet via my PC's internet.
    HotSync over bluetooth works successfully.
    Computer specs: Toshiba P205-S6277; Bluetooth Stack v5.10.04 (currently using); Bluetooth Monitor v3.01 (to use Vista's built-in bluetooth)
    I think I have narrowed my problem down to 3 things.
    (1) Finding Network Access properties (to allow connected devices to access the internet)
    (2) Finding Centro's Network Connection Type: PPP
    (3) Finding the correct Login Script to use
    for (1) I think I've looked everywhere; found nothing on Network Access. 
    Checked control panel: only Bluetooth Local COM
    Right-clicked bluetooth icon > Settings: File transfer, PAN Networking, PAN DHCP server, AV controls. Other bluetooth settings are for file transfer or object push. I don't see anything like this.
    I'm stumped on (2). It seems as if palm removed this option under Centro's Advanced network settings .
    Nearly all the forums that I read says to choose Connection Type: PPP.
    (3) Found 2 scripts that seemed would work. I don't know how it exactly works but it sounds workable.
    First script:
    Send: CLIENT
    Send: CLIENT
    Wait for: CLIENTSERVER
    End:
    Script 1 Connect Log:
    =======================================
    Connect Log
    S: client
    S: client
    R:
    Err: 0x121F   <<<netErrUserCancel b/c I canceled it. 
    Not connected
    ========================================
    I canceled it because the process would stay on "Signing In" then it automatically "Canceled" itself.
    Second script:
    Send CR:
    Delay: 1
    Send: CLIENT
    Wait For: CLIENTSERVER
    End
    **UPDATE** I found on this forum (Reply # 3689) that the script is needed only if you are using Palm OS 4 or under. Centro uses Palm OS 5.49121. Can anyone support this?
    Even without the script it has problems "Signing In".
    I'm currently reading this site and trying out its decribed methods. I will update this thread when I get the results.
    I'm using the Centro. And If anyone's been able to successfully connect to the internet on the Centro via a bluetooth connection to the PC WITHOUT 3rd party applications, please share.  If not, please share any ideas.
    Thanks!
    -Eric

    I've been going at this for days, and have probably exhausted all the proposed solutions on the first 3 pages of various google searches. I'm getting the feeling that Vista users are pretty much SOL for the time being.
    For the record, I just tried out a few of the solutions (mRouter & SoftickPPP) on XP and they work perfectly.

  • How to connect my Blackberry to the internet

    I am on a giffgaff monthly plan with unlimited internet, but i cannot connect my BlackBery to the internet. Everytime i click the browser icon it just says 'connection failed' - my friend said you needed a special code or something and i have no idea where you get that.

    Hi dizzytomboy56
    You will have to contact your wireless provider to ensure you have a BlackBerry data plan, which is different than a standard data plan.
    Thanks

  • How to connect a MacBook Pro to internet with no cable, no Wifi, no ADSL?

    I'll need to connect my MacBook Pro to internet in an environment without any of the above mentioned means.
    1. What are the possibilities? GSM (mobile phone), a modem (express card?)?
    2. Where can I find the information on how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    You can use a mobile phone as a modem. This can be done manually by yourself or automatic by a commercial third party software:
    Manual: you need the right scripts and connection settings and enter them manually in your network configurations. You find the right scripts and configuration hints here: http://www.taniwha.org.uk
    Automatic: try the demo of launch2net at http://www.launch2net.com which features a powerful configuration assistant which already includes all necessary network settings and scripts.
    The other option would be to use the XU 870 ExpressCard modem from Novatel at http://www.novatelwireless.com. If you are living in the USA and use Cingular, Apple has released a so called WWAN update with all settings. So you can use this ExpressCard in Cingular networks immediatly.
    Thank you

  • What adapter do i need to connect my computer to the internet

    I am woundering what adapter i need to plug into my computer so that i can  plug my computer directly into the wall and use the internet using a ethernet cord.  I am not wanting to use wify for that does work great. I have to plug my computer directly into the internet using an ethernet cable unfornately the new mac pros do not come with and ethernet port. I am wanting to do this because of 3D gaming they say that i can not use wify to play that particular game but have to be connected directly. I do how ever have thunderbolt port actually two. I also have usb 3.0 the mac store says that i need a thunder bolt ethernet adapter but which one i need to buy. I have been reading alot on those adapters and they say that the adapter is Giabit ethernet adapter will that work with normal internet speeds or is that cable just for a gigabit Network it is hard to understand all the details and what is going to work... I have also heard that the thunderbolt is faster but what the thunder bolt is used for is to connect a display or is it used also to connect to the internet directly. any help on this would be great.. My question again is what adapter do i need to hook my computer directly to the internet?

    You need the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD463ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-gigabit-ethernet-adap ter
    Thunderbolt is a video, audio and data port, so you can use it to connect external displays, external drives or different adapters to connect a display or connect the Mac to the Internet. In the case of Ethernet, you won't notice the Thunderbolt speed, as it's more for external disks

    I am using SURPLUSMETER I am also using Apple Airport Time Capsule as my Router that is connected to my Satellite dish Internet Modem ... Now on the Surplusmeter I have the option for PPP Modem . Ethernet Port , Airport , Network Card , & Adaptor .
    Which one can I use properly to monitor all the wireless Devices in my hous

    Actually, none of the options will do what you are looking for it to do. That is because, this application only monitors the traffic from the device it is hosted on. That would also mean that you would have to run a copy on each computer that will access the Internet on your network; note their individual usages, and then, combine them to get an idea of the total usage.
    However, if you are only interested in the amount of Wi-Fi traffic that only your computer is seeing, then the "AirPort Network Card" option would be the correct choice.

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

  • ITunes will not connect to iTunes store.  Internet is valid and iTunes is allowed through firewall. Help.

    Every time I try to connect to the iTunes store or use the internet in any sort of way through iTunes I recieve an error message that says "network connection refused."  Obviously my internet connection is still working or I wouldn't be on this website, and I've checked both windows firewall, and the McAfee Security programs and there are no blockages in either case.  I'm thinking a recent version on iTunes caused the problem.  Running on Windows Vista Home edition.

    and the McAfee Security programs
    Doublechecking ... do your McAfee products include McAfee Family Protection?
    If so, check to see if your McAfee Family Protection is currently blocking iTunes, as per the following McAfee document:

    If iTunes is currently being blocked, unblock it.
