..::LegalAlien::.. Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I've recently setup a small network and would like to know if there is software available that would allow me to control the amount of bandwidth given to individual machines. For example. On one old computer I only want it to connect to radio, so it requires about 58Kbps. Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFrankie Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 you'd need to set one computer up as a gateway/proxy server.. I think microsoft do some sort of package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazey Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 set up a nix machine as a gateway with nat/port sharing/forwarding installed. use a proxy like squid or oops with delay-pools enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..::LegalAlien::.. Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Thx for you replys so far. Is not possible, however, to set the speed at the machines instead (currently the computers attach to the router, then directly to the access point - and considering the problem I had just setting that up I really don't want to go through it all again!!!)

phazey Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 What router - some have QoS onboard that will define bandwidth per node with some fiddling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
