DSL sharing / speed settings

Recommended Posts

I've got my DSL shared using NAT / ICS using 2 NIC's in my PC. Is there any was I can limit the speed the other pc's have as they seem to have a monopoly on the bandwidth.

[edit] I'm using XP Pro

Wish there was. I could switch my pc off then at night (it's about 4 foot from my bed, hence zalman cpu cooler and low noise case fans).

Why not just go get a Linksys (or some other brand) DSL Router and be done with it.



Better, true... but still won't give him bandwidth throttling... that's not available in anything that you could afford to put in at home...

Yeah, but the original post said the other users had a monopoly on the connection.. Slamming a router in there will give everyone a square deal.



Agreed! Even the low end Linksys DSL routers these days are built in switches, and will give everybody on the connection a better experience... I have a Linksys with VPN support at home, and have it set up to create a VPN tunnel to my Sonicwall at work... so I can work from home. :S

cheap solution: if using switched ports, run a process that has the culprit machines packet flooding each other. that should do the trick. B|
