Bandwidth Limiting

[heflix455]

Just set up a dhcp server for my house. Its a celeron 700 w/ 256 megs of ram. i need some good firewall/proxy software that can limit the bandwidth on some computers and also is a good firewall. I dont care if its two peices of software, i just need it to work well. Im going to be using it in windows 2000. Anybody have any ideas?

thanks

i don't know about a bandwidth limiter... only a bandwith throttler... http://www.shunra.com/nimbus.htm.

With SHUNRA\Nimbus you can easily see, on your desktop, how IP based technologies function under different bandwidth conditions. A task bar utility, SHUNRA\Nimbus can be activated with two mouse clicks, allowing you to throttle the bandwidth and see how things work for dial-up and DSL users.
IMPORTANT - Most performance problems are a result of a combination of factors including Bandwidth, Latency and Packet Loss. In order to test how these factors affect your application you will need to use one of Shunra's commercial products.

You really don't want to have a firewall, proxy, and DHCP server sitting on one box, for security reasons.

But, I'm guessing this is a Windows system. If that's the case then good luck.

If it's a *nix system I can be of some assistance.
