Well guys i was just thinking if i could restrict the entire bandwidth of our college to one single PC in the internet lab (may be mac binding or IP binding)!!!:idea:
(Pls share any informational link also)

I am not sure what exactly you are asking.
Bandwidth will be consumed by system who will use internet.

Let me be more clear about what my question is:

Consider that one fine day i go to the internet lab in our college and sit on a PC. Now what i want is that the entire 4Mbps speed or bandwidth whatever it is should be concentrated on the PC or Terminal or Client on which i am sitting!:? Hope it is clear now???:-|

that will depend on network topology of your lab.
You can't do this just by any software from one system.

You might need administrative privileges on the main "server" through which Internet is routed. If you have that, you can assign priorities for different PCs connected. Please note that you cannot CONCENTRATE everything on 1 pc , rather you can assign your PC a higher priority. I think this might help : Network Magic *www.purenetworks.com/ OR

Hmmm but i never thought of any software as such, i was thinking that is there some kind of mac-binding or ip-binding that can be done in this case!

And one more thing, i absolutely do not have any admin priviliges. I can't even change the system time but yes i have access to cmd...
