Hi. I was wondering if this is even possible or I am looking for too much. I use a 56K dialup connection. I am using PPP Nat to share with a LAN. Bandwidth sharing doesn't seem to be too efficient. For example if Machine-1 on the LAN is doing a major download of a compressed file and getting near full speed of 5.6K/sec, if Machine-2 starts web browsing or a download itself..they can barely pull 1K/sec. It would seem to me that it should start throttling the bandwidth back so both machines are getting about 2.8K/sec each evenly. Is this possible? I thought maybe using DUMMNET and the Weight command would work as the example shows on this page - http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet But it didn't make much difference. Is there a way to efficiently share bandwidth or am I just looking for too much out of this?
