ICS - limit transfer

[Guest]

Hi. I have ICS enabled for 4 computers, all running XP Pro. It works great. But I would like to know if there is anything to do so I can limit each computer to a lower speed...to divide it, if you like. Thanks.

Multiple downloads through ICS should balance themselves in terms of speed.
If you need to limit the transfer speed to a certain value (bandwidth
throttling), this needs a special network device (not cheap). You may want
to try using the QoS service describet at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316666&Product=winxp
but don't expect full bandwith throttling functionality.

Thank you for your answer. It really helped me. Now I have configured QoS to have 70% of the bandwidth for my computer. And it works great. Thanks again.
