internet Connection sharing - bandwidth allocation..??
 |
I'm running a 2 computer home network on Windows XP. I've had NTL install a 750k broadband. This works fine on both PC's, however the client (laptop)machine has much slower internet access than the host, even if the host is not using any bandwidth. Does anyone know of any way to allocate bandwidth to the client machine?
Your assistance would be MOST appreciated (as it would stop the other half nagging the hell out of me!!!!)
Thanks
Steven

Wait are you guys using Internet Connection Sharing? Are you connecting to a ICS Server that connects to the internet? If so why don't tou just buy a router and be done with it chances are that will cure all your problems.

I have now bought a router and connected both pc's to it. The internet browsing on the client has improved, but the same problem still exists. When the client is downloading it still takes too much bandwidth. Does anyone know of a way to split usage 50/50? I went cheap on the router and got a Mentor 4 port router for £18...

Look for a program called "Bandwidth Monitor Pro", search on google or something, you change the usage of bandwidth each computer has down to specific times and days, aswell as seeing how much those pr0n d/l's are takin'!
