i have a cyber cafe with 7 computers out of which i use 1 PC to connect Internet and share it to rest 14 PCs. i use windows XP in my server and windows 2000 for rest of the PCs. i do not use any proxy software. i use windows internet connection sharing. i am using two network cards for the sharing, one is to connect internet via Huwaei ADSL modem (BSNL Broadband with business plan) and the other to share the internet.
I have 20 GB alloted bandwidth and it suits my budget and normal use. sometimes it goes beyond the 20 GB limit and i have to pay extra because some of my customers come equipped with portable downloader in flash drives and download large files, movies for which i have to incur loss. i dont want to change my broadband plan to unlimited because it limits at 256 kbps and now i am getting 2 mbps.
now what i want is how can i limit the bandwidth use per PC from my server. i want to limit it to say 50 MB and upon request i can increase the limit. i dont want to use any cafe management software. just a simple bandwidth limiter will do it for me.
can anyone help me in this regard ?
