I run a small network at home of fours laptops. I am on
XP professional and the other three are on 98. I notice
sometimes that when my kids are nline, downloading etc,
that the speed of the data to my own laptop slows down a
lot. I know that this is to be expected and up to now I
have simply unplugged their connection from the router to
cut them off until I am through my own work.
Is there a way in win XP that I can cut their connection?
I guess it would be too much to ask that I get the
preference and any slowdown affects them and not me?

Thanks

Tony

Program your router. You can turn someone off from their.
