How can I activate and use both NICs simultaniously to improve performance?
I have two network cards, two ISPs providing internet (two different IPs), and I want to improve the performance of my computer by combining the two connections somehow. It will greatly help me if I can somehow route all Port 80 traffic through one NIC and all other traffic through the other NIC. Does anyone have any Idea what I can do? Thanks. I have a Window XP desktop, one Internet comes from a SonicWall PRO 3060 Enhanced and the other comes from a Netopia 3346.

You might also have a look at this EE question:https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20225287/Port-mapping-in-Windows-XP-Professional.html appears the suggestion is for a server OS, but the Asker used it on a Windows XP Pro workstation. It's not entirely clear, though.

Routing port 80 isn't TRUE load balancing. Load balancing would be what SysRu described. What the vrosas described is just setting up a route.

I searched online also, and apparently, this is a difficult problem, but here's what I found:
