i think thats what its called.

Basicly i have a BT voyager 2100 network router that uses a cable connection for the computer down stairs and wireless for computer upstairs.

I want to set the network so when both computers are on they only use 50% of the band width each (or 75 - 25% ), as when the desktop is on t'internet it seems to hog all the bandwidth and i get none upstairs for my beloved corsasport

anyone know how to do this?

I've got this router too but seems to share the bandwidth out reasonably But then i'm on 8MB.

Your router won't do it. You need one which supports Quality of Service - QoS.

QOS wouldn't split the bandwidth but it will prefer the traffic based on port. If you want to truely split the bandwidth between two machines the hardware needs to be able to support bandwidth shapping.

You'd need some form of "server" software running on a machine between your router and network......Win2kServer can do it, pretty sure Linux could do it, up to you which you choose.

Yes, Cisco stuff will "police" bandwidth......don't count on equipment being cheap, though!

You can get other peices of hardware apart from cisco that will do bandwith shaping i'm sure of it.
