Righty, When i return to my uni house (is a long time away but I am wanting to learn and build for this) in september, I will be upgrading the NTL 2mb connection as 5 way it isnt all that great. Plan now is to goto the NTL 10mb.
I am wanting to create a server that only allows the other 4 people a certain amount of bandwidth, As I like to use the connection for Online games which when they download ruins it completly for me. Allowing certain bandwidth will allow me to (if I am correct) play games with no lag, and let others download at around 60kbs with an upload of about 20kbs, roughly equivilent to 1mb connection each. And i have the rest of the bandwidth.
Is this possible? and what sort of kit is needed?
At the moment i Have:-
Old rig - xp1900 512ram mx440gfx with a micro mobo
Linksys 4 port router which I am using to split the ntl connection.
May be able to get my hands on an 8port hub.
Anything else needed i will buy.
