Bandwitch

Is there anyway to give someone else on the network only a certain amount of bandwitch and if so how?

Just cut the cable. Problem solved. :biggrin:

Really, I have very little knowledge of routers. We have a pretty crappy one at home and I can't be bothered to read up on them.

You could do that though, perhaps Googling on it's type name and the
specific topic of bandwidth restriction could give you some helpfull
articles...

Hell, is an half-filled auditorium

Well, first I'd like to point out that the word is bandwidth.

Second, well, I don't have any idea how to do what you want, so I guess I'm just being an ass. :razz:

Some people are like slinkys...

They aren?t really good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one tumbles down the stairs.

You have to check your specific router ... as I said when you messaged me. If you have a newer router, it may have this feature, but overall: routers don't limit bandwidth, guys. You can give a timed session for an IP address, but that's about all that's widely used. There may be some differences from router to router in regards to parent protection, but most just filter out sites and keep a log.

You said you have a server on your network, which all the other computers connect to, so just limit it from there.

Other then that, you're on your own.

Also ... it's a little odd that you'd try to underhandedly cut your moms bandwidth ... couldn't you just ask her to not download as much so it doesn't lag you out?

[EDIT]
Ha, I didn't notice that it actually said "bandwitch" until now. That makes me imagine a sandwitch made with rubberbands.
