QoS limits network and i could not get it to go below 1mb or %1 since i can not put in decimal points.

so 1mb is faster then my connetion..lol

also i use a router / firewall - netgear - i was hoping on some software that i could limit each computer on our network but not locally speed on the lan

guess i need to buy a cisco router

^^^ thing is with that software ui have to install it on each computer and if your user of that system has admin access they can remove it

unless you are using a system with ICS - but if you got a router
