Friend's younger or older brother?

Younger = go kick his ass
Older = we'll need to work on that

- M4H

block the ports the p2p uses, otherwise most p2p programs have build in a up/dl setting.

... if he will allow it to be installed on his machine. As far as I know, you can't use that to limit other machines on the network. Are you using it to control some machines on the network remotely or just the ones that Netlimiter is installed on ?

Go to options in the p2p program. You can set bandwidth usage in them. DUH!

After reading all the posts, WHY DIDN'T YOU EXPLAIN THAT you are on two different PCs, sharing the same DSL/cable/whatever?

I have no solution as no one else wil leither unless you start saying what routers you have, wireless set up, DSL/CABLE/??? etc.

Get a clark connect server and set everything to stati9c IP's

Then you can limit ul/dl by IP

get a router/firewall with QOS?

cut his ethernet cable.

Throw his computer down a big flight of stairs. You win. If he gets angry, tell him that the FBI would have done worse.

if he has a linksys wireless G router, he can use the sveasoft firmware, which i believe has implemented QOS
