Hi,
I have a LAN set up at home and share my broadband link between two
PCs, mine and my wife's. I often leave my PC on, when I'm out, with
lots of downloads stacked up. However, if my wife then wants to use
her PC, it's dog slow as mine is hogging all the bandwidth.
I can throttle my bandwidth manually using a variety of apps, but what
I'm hoping to achieve is the ability to auto-throttle my pc to 50% of
the bandwidth when (and ONLY when) my wife's PC comes online. When
she's not online, I want it all !!
I was thinking of something like a batch file to regularly ping her
machine, and if it gets a reply, then throttle mine down. Once the
reply stops, throttle mine up. There is a ping type utility called
Alive that returns errorlevel codes, but I can't find a bandwidth
throttle app that will accept command line instructions.
Can this be done an easier way ? Any ideas anyone ?
Many Thanks,
Happy New Year.
Kev.
