267805 2004-09-01 06:20:00 Hi,
I have just setup my server and im going to use it as a small webserver. I need someway of limiting bandwidth though so i don't get huge bills.
I have 2 servers
Main Server - Celeron 400mhz, 64mb ram running Win2k Advanced server
Storage - P133, 96mb ram running Win2k Advanced server.

I was wondering if you can do bandwidth limiting through ISA 2000.

Thanks
Daniel

267806 2004-09-01 08:31:00 What sort are you wanting? It'll still have to display some sorta page like "Ive used too much bandwidth today - Come back tomorrow".

How big is the site you're running and on what sorta connection??

267807 2004-09-01 09:04:00 I mean limiting the amount of mb's that i will serve out to the websites each month. My site is really small at the moment. I am running it on a 256k down, 128k up. dwnz2003 (5250)

267810 2004-09-01 11:26:00 I don't believe what you want is possible without any third party programs, and even then it seems unlikely - you'll have to put the control on the server itself, otherwise you'll end up blocking you self and other incoming connections. If you choose to use a port, that would be sensible - but then you run into the problem keeping count of the months usage and making sure it doesn't reset with your server. Growly (6)
