Hey, i was just wondering if anyone knew of a program which would allow me to limit the bandwidth allocated to another computer from mine. If so could i please have a quick run through.

E.g. Person on another computer is constantly d/ling therefore my internet is slowed.

My network set up:

Modem
(connected to)
Wireless router (D-Link)[All connections are through ethernet cables]
(connected to)
Computer 1/Computer 2/Computer 3

Please help, Thanks!

But you didnt post a link

seapen,

You may be able to configure your router to allocate bandwith (usually via its http configuration - ie something like http://192.168.x.x ). Depending on the software and what firmware is available. Have a look at D-Links website

I must have had a senior moment during my first reply to you. I apologize.
I'll continue searching to see if I can retrieve the earlier found material.

In the meantime, please post back with your progress.

Best Regards.
