Probably set you back a small fortune and it'll be cheaper just to pull his network cable out the switch randomly if you notice a lot of traffic going over his connection "Science is this extraordinary transnational, transcultural, trans-everything language which is the only way to discover Truth and its regrettable that billions are still stuck in the Middle Ages believing the crap propagated by Popes and priests..." - Peter Atkins     RED-FROG   Posted 3rd Jan 2008 6:12pm L4Y Resident Post 2423 / 5258 NetLimiter 2 ¤ MARS WARS 3! - Red Faction revamped on the unreal engine.

Superiority ¤     Garner    Posted 3rd Jan 2008 10:22pm Post 3588 / 4125 Simple... a switch the other guy cant have any say in the matter. He doesn't even need to know there's even a policy on his connection. With a piece of software on his PC he can just turn it off if he hits his limit... All depends on why the limit is needed and how strictly it needs to be enforced. Software for casual, hardware when it must work 100% of the time no questions asked.

Try and look into your router web interface. What I routinely do in my situation if people are hammering the connection, I knock them off of the network from the router. You could setup mac filtering on the wireless side of the router, and when he starts to smack the bandwidth hard, just change his stored mac by one octet or something, then give no explanation as to why it's not working for him, and simply blame vista. 2 hours later, change the mac back to the original.
