QoS?

[GhostlyPea]

Hi guys

Got me a D-Link 2640B. Now my brother is home from America theres the 2 of us sharing the Internet connection. If I am playing a game and he is downloading something this causes me to spike, disconnect or generally have an atrocious ping. Now iirc QoS can be used to limit the amount of bandwidth each of us can use? If im wrong then is there another way to fix this? basically I want to limit each of us to 50% of the connection speed each, or if there is some additional software etc. to use then some help with that would be appreciated.

Thats the QoS page.

Meh, help its really annoying ¬_¬"

What's he downloading, it may be over:-

HTTP (Port 80)
FTP (Port 20,21)
Torrent (Depends what setup)
USENET (Port 119)

they all use different TCP/IP ports, it would be useful to see what is in the "Select Protocol" drop down box.

Source IP is easy, just his IP e.g. 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255 (host route).

Desitnation is going to be a little more tricky, something like 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 may work, obviously dependant on what ports he's using, you may be able to just select tcp (Protocol 6) that's why I'm interested in the drop down box.

Well the drop down menus are ICMP, TCP and UDP. One of my other mates gave it a go helping me last night and came up with

This gives me a 10 - 12ms ping to burstfire.net even while he's downloading. I don't download much if anything really so the priority differences isn't really an issue. Seems to work so far, but if theres anything you feel would improve this id be interested to atleast see
