I dont know who your isp is, but my isp works on a very similar platform. They told me that they already support some multi-boot clients. If you wish, call them and check how they do it.

Hi Mitul, I have a single Network card and it's my home machine. Single machine, single NIC, multiboot (WIN2K, WIN98 and Linux) system.
I have checked MAC addresses using sniffers. In both cases WIN2K & WIN98,
they are same. The difference is in the lenght of Login message (raw bytes) sent to the server. Also the ports used by 24 Online client on 2 OSs are different.
My concern is not about continuos availabity of connection, but to connect
from multiple OSs.

AAggggh....
Here i know exactly wat is the problem... u having two network cards on ur machine ?? if yes then u got to either stick to only one OS permanently, coz u need
to
tell ur ISP to reset your MAC Address Information and then go in Linux
and
login there, and then never ever u can login frm win2k ;) (coz i dont
know
y is that so ... but it is like that ...)
and linc is the only one which keeps your connection on n on n on ...
the
24online linux client given doesnt give constant connection. so take that extra pain n find out the login code :)
should u need any thing, let me know.
