Anyone know how I can share my Jetstream bandwidth between 4 computers. A couple of the computers will use all the bandwidth not shairing any for the others, can anyone sugjest a way to divide the bandwidth bettween all four users?

Im on XP Pro with Jetstrat/stream, what ever its called this month, internal pci modem

51425 2002-05-29 09:25:00 one crude way would be to set mtu settings (not to sure with XP) for each pc. this would cap the speed on each machine. you would have to use another protocol for internal lan otherwise file sharing will be asslow as the net. Guest (0)

if u know anything about LAN, network cards, protocols then i wont be explaining the basics...buy a Hub or Switch or if u can shell out big bucks buy a router...but i prefer the 'Switch' as switch is more intelligent than Hub, as switch records or logs in its memory, which computer is always talking or connecting to which computer.

Now in ur XP Pro computer..if it does have..u have to make some usernames in it who has or who doesnt have 'access' to the internet or to this XP Pro computer u have...i dont have XP Pro...so im not sure if u have to make the usernames or not, or if its gonna be done automatically...i use win98se, win2kpro and win2k server. Now the XP Pro computer will be the gateway and if XP Pro has 'ICS' (internet connection sharing) u have to make the disk for it. If u need to get in touch with me email me...jimerene@yahoo.com
