"I don't understand how AD works with dns and especially dhcp."

You don't understand how AD works with dns?? Dns is the CORE of AD for gosh sake.. Why are you the person doing this?? So AD is completely new to you, and a black box it seems??

"Integrating DHCP with DNS"

I would suggest you read the above for starters..

I think I'm going to back off the dual wan router and install dhcp on the server for starters.

 

I'll conquer this BUDMAN.  Just keep your criticism to yourself.

That is good

[+BudMan MVC]

I don't have any criticisms.. I don't!! I am honestly curious how someone running AD doesn't seem to have clue one to what dns is or even dhcp?

I don't know about thing about brain surgery, but I am not working as a brain surgeon either ;) I am more than happy to work this out with you, just need some basic understanding of your skill set. If I had to do brain surgery, the first thing I would tell the people trying to help me through it was I don't have clue freaking one about brain surgery. I know the person needs to breath, and we don't want all the red stuff to be on the floor ;)

I know where its located is about all I know ;)

So far from this thread I think your in the same place I would be in trying to do brain surgery ;) So think of me and sc302 as the top Neurosurgeon here on neowin, nobody wants the patient to die. So do you admin this AD? What is your job title here? Are you a consultant that got over his heard, normally you just run windows update on their computers? What??

I'm not going to play that game with you BUDDIEMAN.

Dual Wan Router is working perfectly now.  Doubled the internet download speed.  Thanks guys for your help. 

[sc302 Veteran]

Good job!

[+BudMan MVC]

Well no it didn't double anything, what it allowed you to do is load balance connections across both. But any single client would still be limited to 1 isp speed for a specific session.

[24elements]

Here, I'll give you something else to bitch about buddieman, then why do the internet speed tests indicate double the download speed?

[Adster01]

Sheesh...

[+BudMan MVC]

Because your opening multiple sessions/threads! Lets me guess you went to ookla's -- speedtest.net, they open multiple sessions I know for sure..

https://support.speedtest.net/entries/20862782-How-does-the-test-itself-work-How-is-the-result-calculated-

Once we start downloading, we use up to four HTTP threads to saturate your connection and get an accurate measurement.

What part do you not understand about what load balancing is? So you load balance, session 1 over connection 1, session 2 over connection 2, etc. As we went over before way early in the thread this is one of the big advantages of using a multiwan router vs the method you wanted to use. But sorry it not actually increasing your connection speed, it may look like some times - but it is just a simple load balance..

Why don't you go and download something from say a ftp server, or use this test which is only 1 stream
