ok here is the question.. my roomate recently hooked up his x-box live account and its driving me nutt slowing my net down. we use a linksys wirless router (wirless diabled) to split a sbc dsl (slow as ****) connection... is there any way i can limit him.. he knows very little about computers and has no access to the router. so.. it wont be hard to conceal this.. im just tired of him on the damn thing 12 hours a day..

i wil be gettting a cable modem in awhile.. and this wont be a prob then.
 
If your router supports bandwidth limiting, you can limit the bandwidth for his IP address. I'm not sure which models of Linksys support this, but there are a few out there.
 
Very hard to do this, routers would usually share bandwidth evenly between ip addresses.

hahahah but see do you really think he would pay his half of rent..

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
