    I have a small home network, all pc's connected to the internet via a router.
    I am looking for a program that will let me manage the internet bandwidth of each pc from my computer.
    Say let PC1 have 20K, PC2 have 50K and PC3 have 100k.

    Does anyone know of a program that can do this?

    Net Limiter is brilliant - not free though:

    http://www.netlimiter.com/

    It allows you to control upstream/downstream traffic and you can set overall limits on the PC(s) it's installed or set limits for specific applications (say someone is using P2P and hogging all your bandwidth but you don't want to limit the web browser, etc). Worth a look.

    Netlimiter is cool, but thats only useful for controlling individual programs. The problem is my little brother and sister are hogging my bandwidth with god know what crap. I want to be able to set a limit on their pc's

    not really a program, but the dogs if you have a spare, low spec PC

    www.clarkconnect.com

    Ive run a sever from it with a PII 266 with no probs.

    its all webconfig, which is handy. IT has QOS and banwidth limiting features, to mention but a few.

    you may be able to configure on the router ? what model is it

    or set timeouts for each IP ,

    they may also have viruses and spyware on their PC's and may not be using up Bandwidth by choice etc
