| 817591 | 2009-10-07 00:18:00 | You could always use this: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz That K9webprotection looks interesting. I think it's a great way to limit your father from watching too much news on the internet. I'm the opposite compared to you. Though I don't use P2P, uTorrent etc, I use a lot of the bandwidth when it comes to YouTube. Thats why my father changed ISP from Vodafone to Telecom BT plan. I'm going to miss the fast connection speed but at least both my father and I don't have to worry about usage. :) |

| 817592 | 2009-10-07 00:56:00 | Try the link I have. Even with the WL-520GU, not TFTP is required:) Yes, but then you must have the other software installed. This way you literally just login to the factory-stock webgui and hit "upgrade firmware" on the WRT54GL's! :D *so* much easier, for the $10-odd difference ... |

| 817593 | 2009-10-07 07:38:00 | There's a certain person in my house that thinks nothing of how much data he consumes. I fixed him by slowing the internet connection to 128k. Change the QoS setting for internet bandwidth from auto to whatever you want. My connection's as slow as a slug during the day, but good enough for web browsing. I change it back to 20000 in the evenings ( I know it doesn't connect that fast). Saves me a bundle every month. The day he chips in will be the day his PS3 works properly again. I don't mind a few hours a few days a week. I ain't paying for all day every day. | Phil B (648) | ||
| 817594 | 2009-10-07 08:40:00 | A useful app for this sort of thing would be networx. I used it for a while but it had a few problems when I used it with some DEV software (it reported useage incorrectly) and I didnt really need it any way. you can set weekly, daily or monthly quota, tell it to notify you when that quota is at a set percentage ect. download.cnet.com it also has an U/L D/L monitor for taskbars aswell |
