Want to limit bandwidth of 1 computer on home LAN

[Jeff7181]

Using a Linksys wireless/wired router. The computer I want to limit is wired and running Windows 2000. Is there any software or any adjustments I could make to the router so I could limit it's upload speed?

 

[requiemforlife]

there are ways to do it if you have a computer as a router

but i don't know of any mods that would make your router do something like that

might want to try searching for some software to install on that computer that would limit the bandwidth

If you have peer to peer network (The win98/XP type) it can not be done, unless you use special software on each one of the computers.

Never tried it myself. You can download and try.

Link to: NetLimiter is an ultimate internet traffic control.

Otherwise in order to control centrally all traffic has to go through one source.

One Source Can Be:

Manageable Switch.

Linux Server.

Win2000/2003 Server

Link to: Can I Monitor my LAN, control the usage of the Internet, and Network Resources by other computers from my main computer?

If I was using Linux on the computer I wanted to limit, would it be easier that way?

That works great, thanks... I may actually buy it when the trial is over =)
