ok, i know how to do it, i've got net shareing working here.

but what i'm really after is sutn that allows me to cap others down load rates. or sutn to tht effecet.

I use Sygate at the moment, I liked it so much I bought a license!

sifnt linux

I liked it so much I bought a license!

Yeeees...'bought' indeed!

but can u cap d/ls, of other ppl, with sygate

its got a heap of features, not sure though
and I did buy a license FAGGLES

giri, pity qgl forum users cant actually read complete sentences eh

Exocet u like to quote people don't u?

get linux, get bandwidth shaping...

giri , if your using win2k or xp
would QoS help you?

err, what ever qos is, sure, i'll give it a try

rara, i tried sygate lastnight, not where could i see a bandwidth cap or anything, it basically just let u share the net, did u have to liscence it first, before u got most of the otpions.

oh and which version are u runing the home, or the office

QoS doesn't capp the connection but the netowrk cards itself... so that means when u goto lans and start leeching... yay 1.5k/s

but if u really want a decent router get a p90 or something like that and stick mandrake security (linux) on there... or if u know how to use linux stick slackware or debian on as they are much more powerfull.

or even freesco, its for linux newbies like me.

I got sick of tooling around with WinGAte and linux boxes, so I bought a router. Everythings appels now :)

PS Anyone want to buy a box suitable for linux?

yeah hardware routers are good but are very centered around a specific task...

You might oneday decide to have a party in you basement where ur router is... Now if that were a slow computer you could use it as a jukebox

QoS packet scheduler description
Quality of Service Packet Scheduler. This component provides network traffic control, including rate-of-flow and prioritization of services.

but if u share the i/c and all of a sudden u want to transfer a file u need to burry your way through group policy to lift the cap... a software solution would be much easier insted of fiddling with microsux os.
