is there anyway that i could limit the bandwidth of all the pc's in my network? you know, to reduce lag... my setup is adslmodem/hub/router...


is there a software which could do this? or hardware?

There are basically two choices for that. An extremely expensive piece of network hardware or a well configured linux router. If you have an old computer laying around that you can put 2 network cards in the linux router would be a cheap/free solution :)
ClarkConnect does a decent job of bandwidth management but i'm sure with some research you could get it working really slick.

bigpoppa your setup should be adsl->router->hub. and find a router with QOS functionality so that you can assign the bandwidth that you want for that certain pc. :wink:
