| 305919 | 2004-12-20 04:27:00 | Ok heres the story. I have 2 computers networked , My PC and the family pc. I pay for jetstream full speed 10gb. Now my brother has some how used up 80% of my limit within 2 weeks leaving me jack all for when im home alone over Xmas. Now im after a programe which limits the speed of the computer down to let say 56k to 128k which he cant close or disable with out a password or something, stopping him using so much bandwith over so little time. anyone know of one? thanks |

| 305921 | 2004-12-20 05:07:00 | Hes on the family comp, so dad and mum needs to use it ( they wont mind the slower connection) , he mainly uses the pc while im at work. and how do i limit access on an account? That pc is using win XP home, both pcs and the modem are connected to the hub. I tried kicking him off and tell him to do something else than waste his holidays on the internet, but noo "no ones here to take him anywhere" (his legs are painted on it seems) , so limiting the connection is the only way. | Rpg_pro (5689) | ||
| 305922 | 2004-12-20 05:07:00 | i believe there's a program called webmarshel that might do it. email them and ask. http://www.netiq.com | Edward (31) | ||
| 305923 | 2004-12-20 05:12:00 | NetLimiter (http://www.netlimiter.com/) ? But it doesn't have a password. | Đêĉî (6581) | ||
| 305924 | 2004-12-20 05:20:00 | NetLimiter (http://www.netlimiter.com/) ? But it doesn't have a password. So what will stop him closing it? :@@: |

| 305925 | 2004-12-20 05:28:00 | what about setting up a server and putting smoothwall on there, not sure if it can limit the speed though try bandwidth management for windows (http://bandwidthcontroller.com/) it might be the one you are after, oh and im just seeing now on the site that it is only a 30day trial, which is annoying but still worth a try. the program doesnt seem to have a password to protect it, so get another a program that will put a password on the .exe file, worth a shot aswell |

| 305926 | 2004-12-20 05:38:00 | Prescott, thats a good idea, cause in the next few months i will be building a server for my next project. But for now i need to find something i can install on that family pc, unless i set it up so my pc is hosting the internet ( throught the USB option on my modem) do u think this program will work the same way? Anyone else got any ideas? :) |

| 305927 | 2004-12-20 05:55:00 | I noticed on another forum someone suggested putting a quota on the users hard drive space. While this doesn't limit traffic in any way it would certainly mean that they wouldn't have much room to store stuff. :D Another option would be to see if your external modem has a Bandwidth throttling feature as I have seen mention that some Linksys models do.
