I have 20 computers in our network, 10 computers share a switch and I have 2 switches which are connected via crossover cable.I now have 2 Internet connections, 1 Cable Internet (256 kbps) and 1 DSL (384 kbps). Now this is what I want to find out.

1. Is it possible for me to integrate my 2 internet connections and share it among my computers.
2. If it is not possible to integrate my Internet connections, how do I configure my network in such a way that each Internet connection is used by 10 computers each.
3. What other options can you suggest so that I can maximize on my 2 internet connections.

I have listed my hardware below for reference:

20 computers (Various Specs, mostly AMDs)
2 Cnet 16 port 100 mbps switch
1 motorolla cable modem (Cable internet)
1 zte cable modem (DSL)

* I also have a D-Link VPN router (DI-804HV)
which has a WAN port for my internet connection and 4 other ports for lan connections (for sharing internet)

I hope that somebody can help me. Thank you.

you may have many options. 1. add a router to separate your network as two; 2. assign first 10 computers using one dg,and another 10 computers using the diiferent dg ip.

Thank you for your reply blin. If it's not so much to ask. What does dg mean (sorry, i'm not really an expert yet). And by adding another router, does that mean that I will have 2 workgroups?..My basic problem is, I want all 20 computers to be connected in a single network. Is it possible to have 2 workgroups running in one network and having a separate internet connection for each workgroup? Thank you in advance.
