Multiple connection and failover

I would like to setup two wireless connections on my XP-Pro gaming
computer. Each wireless connection is through a different router that
connects to a different ISP. If one internet connection fails is XP
smart enough to switch over to the other connection and keep the
application running? Thanks.

You might want to read this page; http://www.ezlan.net/metrics.html It does
what you want, sadly there is more to it than simply Windows XP. It would
depend on how your game is written, and the application you are connecting
to is written as well. Also the level of security use by the applications.
It may or may not work. Generally speaking the more copy protection it has,
the more security it has the less likely it is to work.
