Hi there Please be patient - I'm a newbie at this. Have an internet connection on eth0 - 64K so eth0 = 216.139.165.7 and eth1 = 192.168.0.1 have 4 pcs connected to a hub on eth1 the pc's are 192.168.0.11 and 22 and 33 and 44 I want to allocate 4kb to 192.168.0.11 and 4kb to 192.168.0.22 and 8kb to 192.168.0.33 and 32kb to 192.168.0.44 so this is a total of 48kb and the rest is used on the server 10.0.0.80 Also - want to make sure that 192.168.0.11 never takes more than 4kb at any time. No fancy stuff like separating http and smtp and things. What's the simple most elegant way of doing this on eth1. -- Warm regards Carl DAANET 9 Pelewura Crescent, Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria T - +234-1-587-8247 F - +234-1-587-8210 M - +234-803-465-4689 "There are two major products that came out of Berkeley: LSD and Unix.
