I have a 3 PC Network... I would like to play games without my dad or sister lagging me. Where can I find a program/tool or something of that sort that limits thiere connection rate... I have 56k and no means to upgradeing becuase I live far out in the country... The network setup is suppurb, but the connection is not, I need to figure out how to Speed up my end and slow them down a bit at a pace that I wont lag in games. Any suggestions on what to get or how to setup my ICS??

Hey TGA, What i would suggest you do is find a proxy or a NAT which you run on your computer, this means that the rest of the family will be connecting through the proxy server or NAT server on your machine. I suggest you try a proxy rather than a NAT as it may be easier to find one which allows you to limit the connection speeds which are being used.. im not too sure but i think a proxy such as Browesgate allows you to do that, or you could try Wingate. Hope this helps, if you do have any questions or have a problem reply to me on our forum, thanks {-GHOST-} [Networking And Security ] [Website: http://www.interportal.co.uk ] [Forum: http://www.forumco.com/interportal ]

I was wanting to avoid proxy's as I do not like them and how they have ot be setup I like ICS becuase less configureation and there is not program that has to run that end up crashing.. and haveing to reload them. I have had bad experiences with Proxy's.. I wish I could find some better means to slow them down then haveing a proxy alone. I want to do this Network with ICS only and have a program that fully controls how ICS sends and recieves Packets or slow it down to like 1k per second or even .5 k per sec, this would really improve my connection and not boggle me down as bad.

Since you are using a 56k dial-up connection I would only have 1 person use the connection at a time. There is not enough bandwidth in a dial-up connection to allow 2 people to share the connection at the same time.
