I have 2 dataone accounts, one of 250 plan, other of 500 plan. Now, i want to switch between these two accounts from a single pc. How do i do it? I'm using LAN card.
Also, can i keep both these connections alive at the same time? Do i need to have seperate ip addresses for each?

The solution is simple.
You can use both your accounts, one at a time , but
not simultaneously.
Why do you want to connect to both anyway, because
using one itself you can connect to the Net.
Open -> Program-Accessories->Communications->
Dial-up Networking
Click on make new connection
1) one using 250 plan , choose the appropriate drivers
and other stuff, name the shortcut as 'Plan250'

2) create another one , choose appropriate drivers
and other stuff(your LAN card) , name the shortcut
as 'Plan500'

3) Now you have created both 250 & 500 plan accounts .Use the one based on your needs.

For eg., for mail checking , use Plan 250

For big downloads use plan 500

Hope you get the point.

Can it not be possible that i use one of them from the lan card, & the other from the usb port, simultaneously?

Also, create a new connection wizard is not allowing me to create another broadband connection.

I don't think so... coz Lan and usb are used to get connected to the modem or router. And the net is connected to the router and not directly to the PC!
