| | I have a 128k connection that is shared between 6 computers. one computer connects directly to the internet and the others connect through this shared connection. Now I know that already, this is not a good idea, because 128k split over so many will really slow it down, but until I can get a second line there's really no way around it. And I know that the host computer will take the lion's share of the bandwidth. My question is:
How can I make sure that the remaining speed is divided equally between the other computers? Right now one or two other computers will have a decent connection through, but the other 3 simply won't connect most of the time, or I have a 0.5kb connection speed, which makes web pages and outlook express mail time out constantly. I would really appreciate a solution to this. |

from wut ive heard thats extremely hard, expecially since your internet is slow to begin with, since you dont have very much bandwidth to go around in the first place

I guess that each server will try to get the whole available bandwidth. This is the best way when a single guy is really working, and the other ones do nothing. As soon as one guy needs bandwith, he obtains everything. If two or three guys try to download simultaneously, the bandwidht will be shared "almost" equally, simply the fastest system will get most of the Ethernet packets, the slowest machine will go slower.

Ok, that brings up another question though. Because I have a 3.0 Ghz machine and 5 2.4 Ghz ones. On my 3 gig i run file-sharing, but if i totally close it down, or not open it when i log on (i don't have it set to automatically start), I still have "no" internet, or extremely slow. Even the Google search page can take 20 or 30 seconds to load. So it appears as if the connection is basically dead. then if i start up filesharing, right away i get a download speed of at least 10KB, and the same thing happens when i use download accelerator. I get a decent (for me) connection. but browsers and OE simply can't seem to find that connection properly. Then another question, yordan, if i turn off my 3 gig machine, and all the rest are exact equals in spex, and installed all the same, why will 2 of them get a connection and the other 3 simply won't?

I think that the speed... it just to little for 6 machines you get about 3kb or 2kb speed per machine... that speed is less than the speed provided by the phone-modem... you should get a better speed and try using any net or proxy manager program.. and I believe that there is an option to limit the speed for each of the machines in the net..

Broadband Modem Sharing
Accessing Internet from 2 computers (11) I like to share our broadband modem and access Internet from the second computer. The 2 computers

Cable Internet Connection Requires Aol To Go Online?
(17) Just took a look at one of my user's computer and found a very strange problem. For some odd
reason, he must sign into AOL in order to use his internet. I would understand if this is required
if he is using AOL as his main connection, but he is using a dedicated cable service line. The same
thing is happening to his other computer (requires him to sign onto AOL first before he can
connect). After playing around with it for a while, Internet Explorer connected without
AOHell's assistance. I made sure AOL was completely signed off and tried a few more websites and....

The Importance Of Limiting Bandwidth ...
a theory and a question. (13) A very important criterion in choosing a host for your Website is bandwidth. Most of us will ask
about it, right after they ask about "space". But do we really understand what bandwidth is, and
why most hosts put a limit on it? First, what is bandwidth? Put simply, bandwidth is the amount
of data allowed to occur between a certain computer and the rest of the Internet. As such, there
are many types of bandwidths. For example, I use DSL service to log onto the Internet. My DSL
subscription has a bandwidth limit of 1024 KBit/second. This means that the maximu....
