But what are the advantages/disadvantages? My problem is that the connections are not shared as i expected. Traffic on line one is 3 times greater than on line two (after a day testing). I think i made a mistake. Or there is something with this proto static. > Otherwise that should be the explanation you are seeking? Thanks, I looked for something like yours :) Viktor
