Cap Bandwidth on network?

[spinningm0nkey]

Basicly this is my problem, dad keeps streaming lame music :music: videos on lycos and yahoo.... when we have mtv and other cable music channels on tv but he insists on streaming them (ERRR!! there goes my online gaming! :| )... so I had this idea of capping his bandwidth :thumbsup: (kinda evil eh?) How would I go about to capp his bandwidth? Any ideas?

that may be a router setting..

My Belkin Router doesn't seem to have any option like that, maybe installing a program on his computer to do this? 😛

Do a search, there has been a program mentioned before. But make sure you discuss it with him first.

ahah good idea Jack! His birthday I'll get him that, but untill then I'll reduce the RWIN of the TCP/IP Stack to a lower setting 😀 Thanks for the heads up n0cmonkey, already searched the Technical Support thread but didn't search the Networking thread (kinda dumb eh?)found the thread here thus leading me to here. Havent tryed it yet but I will later on tonight 😛 Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure that was the program I was thinking of. Couldn't remember the name though. 😛

Seriously though, talk to him about it. Don't be sneaky. 😉

NetLimiter I beleive will do this. Never used it but I've seen it suggested before on the forums.
