A. If you have two or more network adapter cards in your system, you can use a randomizing algorithm to distribute the number of connections or sessions among the adapters. To use the algorithm, perform the following steps:
Start the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNetBTParameters.
From the Edit menu, select New - DWORD value.
Enter a name of RandomAdapter, and press Enter.
Double-click the new value, enter 1 to enable or 0 to disable, and click OK.
Close the registry editor.
Reboot the machine.
