Hey all, is there a way that I can do something sorta like this
1.Make Kazaa use my dial up connection for ^ and V transfers.
2.Make AOL plus use my broadband connection
3.Make MIRC use my broadband connection
Since i run an fserve on mirc i can't run them both at the same time
Any suggestions?
Thanks- Eddy
Note: Please don't @*$^! at me about me wanting to use my dialup connection so i can get slo uploads and fast downloads cause if you look a little harder it says make "for Up and Down transfers":devil

I suggest getting a second computer and a KVM switch.
To do this on one computer you could run another copy of window in vmware, let it use the modem and run kazza in it.
Doing what you want to do with one copy of windows will be a pain to do and you will need some understanding of TCP/IP stuff.
You want your broadband to be the internet connection programs use by default. Since you have AOL's evil crap and their proprietary dialer installed that may mean modifying the default gateway routing table every time you dial up (route command in a cmd.exe box).
Very few windows programs have an option to set which ip address or interface they should use and make outgoing connections from the first ip in the routing table that has a route to the internet.
If anyone knows of a wrapper program for windows which can force which interface a program used I'd be interested to hear of it.
Kazza has socks proxy support so you
could try running Vsocks (http://www.pscs.co.uk/products/vsockslight/) set the use a RAS (dialup)connection and setting kazza to use the local socks proxy.
It not eaily possible to force filesharing data transfers in different direction through different interfaces. When an http connection is made the computer that opens the connection is allways the one that receives the content, Connection from filesharing programs can be open by either end for content transfers.

Some firewall software may let you only enable certain interfaces for programs. You could then set Kazaa to use your dial-up network interface.
