Hey all i do appoligise if this is not the correct place to post on this topic but i am in desperate need of help from you technical experts!
The situation is this:
I have a network at home. It consists of an ADSL modem (512kbps/128kbps) which has a hub connected to it and then 4 PC's plugged into it so we can all use interent! Very common solution.
So I play a game called Battlefield 2 and get really good ping (usually under 20) as most of you will know when playing a game like Battlefield 2 and someone decides they will just start to download a full length application/movie/music using torrents through a file sharing program you end up getting a ping of like 700-2000!! With that annoying message on the screen that says "there is a problem with your connection" Then you get kicked off the server due to the high latency. Of course the game is unplayable with a ping higher than like 100 and even that is quite bad. Keep in mind we all have the same privligages. So like their isnt one administrator or anything its just 4 PC"s hooked up to the hub.
MY QUESTION:
Is there an application i can use that will allow me to limit a users bandwidth options. That is, is there an appliation I can get that I can open and say riteo lets just selecet this user whos IP is ***.***.***.** and block/limit them from downloading. It doesnt have to be a total block but a big reduction in their bandwidth would be quite enough to make them quit downloading leaving me to reap the rewards! (A low ping! :-) ) I've been searching for bandwith monitor and found many but I don't want to monitor or limit things on my computer I want to limit it on another users computer from my computer!! Does anyone know if this is possible????????????????? Please help!
P.s Running windows xp pro on all computers
