Hi there! Ive set up a little wireless network in my house which is very happily used by myself and my 5 house mates.

The problem is that some of the house REALLY dont understand how much they are downloading, we only get 1Gig a day and set people are in the habit of downloading 2\3 films a day!

So the question..........Is there anyway you can limit the amount someone downloads by there IP address?

Im really stuck on this and im sorry if its been asked before but I cant find referance to it anywhere!!

Cheers all!

Hello There,

Researched this a couple of months back so things may have changed but i found two ways of achieving this, both with a piece of software called bandwidth manager (ttp://www.softperfect.com/products/bandwidth/)

1. Install bandwidth manager on every PC on ur network and setup to limit each clients bandwidth.

2. Setup a PC as a NAT router and install bandwidth manager on the router.

Hope this helps.

Jamie
