I am using inter net using dialup modem and then Using a network HUB 7 other computer connect to internet. that means i am acting as a server....
THe question is that can you name a software that can enable me to control that how much %age of total speed can be accessed by my clients and i also want to stop them from heavy downloads during bussy timmings and a software that can help me in stoping specific user from accessing internet.............means complete command over my internet sharing.....
afaik Winroute does not have any bandwidth throttling capabilities (unless it's been sneaked into the new version and I've just not seen it yet). I'm a Winroute Reseller and we install this for some SOHO's and Smaller organisations as a Firewall solution.
just to tried to get uethlr make a headstart in this area. in fact i myself was looking around for some sort of bandwith control utility for router at my home network. never found any so far. heard cisco has it for it's router but noway i can afford one.
stopping specific user from internet access could be done with practically all routers but restricting bandwith to certain percentage of bandwith available .. i'm still searching for one.
btw how certain webserver limit their bandwith usage?
Winroute could do it, but its just not built into it. It has a low enough level driver to be able to implement it.
iirc IAS (Microsoft Proxy Server basically) does allow you to set some bandwidth policys, but I don't think its available as a download anymore (Proxy Server used to be)
OK sound good.. to me. thanks for that info Gremlin.
I can dig my burned CDs, remember I used to have MS Proxy Server d/l somewhere. But I'm using a broadband router now which will be wasted if I setup a PC just to make use of Proxy server. Any tips to have both ways?
IAS is the latest release of Proxy Server, I don't think the earlier versions could traffic shape at all.
Best of both worlds would be to setup a dedicated machine as a firewall/router/traffic shaper it could all be easily achieved if your prepared to dig into Linux a little.
