Re: Re: Sharing broadband



Marcel said

'According to the documentation (I've got a Vigor 2600V) every one
of the 4 ports on the Vigor can be assigned a VPN (Virtual Private
Network) and the bandwidth of every port/VPN can then be throttled.

I assume that it's a matter of putting the kids' computers on their
own hub/subnet, plugging that into one of the 4 ports, enable the
VPN on that port and throttle the bandwidth.'


Thanks Marcel,

Will try that with a spare hub that I have. I need to do something quickly
as SWMBO (who likes to download 'stationary' for her e-mails) is not too
impressed with broadband at the moment. Then when I cut the links to the
kids PC's (downloading who knows what) the downstream speed went up from
6.3
to 55.4 KB/sec and she was then very impressed -:)


Kids eh - who would have them ( I luv em really!!)
