Use DSL connection while a dial-up connection is present?

First of all, is it possible? I've had problems hosting due to my private ip address and my ISP being a... yeah.

I was wondering if it was possible to tell what program to use what connection, or if I could make it to where my dsl was the primary connection. A little help? Happy

By the way, I'm using the Dial-up to get a global ip address for <person> to connect to.

It not possible to teach exactly why here, but you would have to 'subnet the internet.' Research subnetting to see why this is not a good idea.

Subnetting. UGH!

Setting up Cisco Enterprise routers and configuring subnetting will give you a headache. Don't ask me how I know.
