Hi all,
i was wondering how i can limit internet bandwidth with my bro's computer in our network using ICS. I currently have a 512/256 connection and i want to limit my bro to only 120/40 (its not fair but that translates to 15KB/s downloads and 5KB/s uploads).
How can i acheive this? Is there some setting that allows me to reserve so much bandwidth for myself?
Thanx!

QoS!
(Use it... native to your OS and can do the job!)

"How would i go about doing that?"
Lookup a user here named Shasshouneh (I think that is how he spelled his name) and I put up a load of links for him to do it with...
(Was a long time back but he was after same madness you are out to do... I would look it up again, but gotta hustle must be at work in another 45 minutes...)

Save you some time searching, I know it was done here with Shasshouneh about a year ago or BrianF (I think that was their usernames)... just go here, pretty complete rundown on what it is, how it works, and how to set it up:

Hmmm,
Love to tell you, but I don't have XP completely "memorized" even though I ran it most of this past year... but I did not use QoS myself.
(On Win2k SP #3 here again, just to test it out & see if all my softwares in latest incarnations function well with it etc., so no XP installed!)
(I only know what it can potentially do, which is in your case, limit bandwidth spread about to machines or users (not sure if it does by both etc. userprofile or MacAddress/IP or machine profile)).
I just looked up a place online where at what I thought might be your best roadmap with the best explanations of it & how it works & how to implement it...
* You may be best served by emailing either BrianF or Shasshouneh via the mailing lists here in members & asking them how to do it hands on because I am FAIRLY sure it is one of those two that used this or another URL link to how to set it up & use it, & I believe iirc, they did use it successfully to stop their sister from hogging all their bandwidth from a shared cablemodem internet LAN at home situation!
(Wish I could help more... but I cannot! Sorry...)
APK
P.S.=> Email one of those guys or both & ask them how it went, or failing that, hope that someone else here has used & done this successfully... I think those URL links will help but I am not hands-on with it. I only suggested it to hopefully, save you some money and compatibility issues (if it's in 2k, it SHOULD be in XP as well...) ... apk

QoS Windows 2000 style goes a little like this
1. You need Win2k Server to actually do the "bandwidth shaping".
2. Admission Control service needs to login as a service account on all the computers needing QoS
3. Your NIC and its drivers need to support 802.1p and MUST have it enabled in the device manager.
IIRC those are the major sets for setup ... after that you configure the QoS through the ACS
Am I missing something else here that he might need to know?

OUCH! You're looking down the barrel of a couple of thousand US for that right away...
Is there a cheaper option? Linux perhaps?

Probably not!
Sounds like you have messed with it hands-on & know what you're talking about...
(I only know what its purpose is, but have not used it hands on myself, one of the things in 2k/XP I have NO real hands-on experience with is QoS)
* Sounds like an expensive proposition to implement having to nab a server version of the OS to do it though...
APK
P.S.=> Hopefully, Admiral's right about that & maybe there is a way Linux could be used to implement something like it using say, a Linux box with 2 nics as a router & maybe its tool netconfig (great & easy to use) has bandwidth control in it... that I am not sure about, but it makes doing a "firewalling" router easy to do with 2 nics! apk

QoS can be rather tricky to configure and takes a lot of effort and money... A far more simple way to achieve bandwith restrictions is to install Sygate office network. It comes with a cost of approx. 110 $ though 
You can download a demo from here: http://soho.sygate.com/products/access_ov.htm
