Multiple Ethernet with Multiple Gateways/IP

Hi to all... I want to tell you the story of my networking problem below... I have one Ethernet card, and OS is XP, and my ip config is: IP: 10.14.58.142 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 10.14.58.1 its only static ip assign to me for accessing the net...and as i surf or download from internet, my account is updated i.e. charge for accessing the net... And if i change my ip address to something else, let suppose to IP: 10.14.58.14 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 10.14.58.1 then also i am able to access the net...but this time the user whom this IP is assigned to has to pay for the net... that means i have different ip with one single gateway by which i can access the net... So my first question is that is there any way to combine these two ip's to get double or triple the speed,,, And secondly if i opted for the different gateway, then also i can able to access the net... i.e. if i assign my ip config to IP: 10.14.57.88 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 10.14.57.1 --- (Different gateway) then also i am able to access the net... So is there any software which is capable of join these two or three gateways or IP's to get double or triple the speed.... Well i have already opted for VMWare and Virtual PC, and run another OS in this and assign a proxy in that, but it leads to more memory consumption... And one more thing in Virtual pc and vmware, i got 4 virtual network cards with different gateways and different ip's so is there any way to combine these 4 virtual network cards to make them as a single ehternet card and increase our internet speed by four times...

I need to ask you some questions. - What your environment like? Office, Home?? - What devices you using in the network, switches, routers?? - What internet connection you using, leased line or ?? And there no way you can bind a few to become a single connection. As per my knowledge, you can only do load balancing or bandwidth shaping where it will switch to another connection when the current one had too much bandwidth or connections.
