Hi,
As my title indicates there is a issue of bandwidth leeching.I share my router with 3 other pc one is mine the other is my laptop and third one is my neighbour.I want to cut the third category off my bandwidth with them knowing that i have unplugged their lan cable (only trick up my sleeve to save me from this calamity) :) any software that would completely shut them off would be my saviour as my neighbours are not computer intellect they would not know any difference until there is a cross sign placed on their lan card.
And is there any way that i can know the third computer's IP address ?
Please also do tell me any techniques that would also help me shut them off without that cross sign appearing.
 
I think this is what your looking for...

Native protocol for traffic controlling, Quality of Service (QoS)

You could check QoS configuration options for your "router" or use windows2k8 as a "gateway" (for this you will need 2 NIC cards) and deploy Policy-based Quality of Service group policy to manage the workstations traffic bandwidth.

Note: In the policy, use DSCP Value to define traffic priority and use throttle Rate to limit the traffic bandwidth.

For more information:

Hope this helps ;)

It would be a great if u help fill the form for me too :bebendoceva:
And again the repeated ques : Any software through which i can detect the all three connected PCs IP addresses,the reason for asking is that i can use eset's feature to limit the networking bandwith ;) ..
 
you could find this information, in your admin login of your network or also call your ISP :)

if you want to know the IP addresses of which is connected to your router/network download and install this to your pc/laptop.

cheers mate!
 
1. what make and model of router do you have ?
2. do you know the admin login and password for your router ?
3. If you have this I can tell you how to block neighbor traffic or control bandwidth usage.

Not all routers have the capability you are looking for, but most do so if you can tell me make and model I can help
