I'm using Dataone ul1350 plan & using UTStarcom WA3002G4 modem.

Desktop is connected thru LAN cable, laptop connects thru WiFi.

What i want to do is cap the speed for wi-fi systems, i want to allocate more speed for desktop.

Desktop should get 40/45KBps & laptop 20KBps.

Both desktop & laptop use Vista.

is there any way to do this, preferably a easy, reversible one:))

something like this www.netlimiter.com but for PC's on network.

after going thru all my options of my WiFI Router,
Cisco Linksys wireless-g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps (WRT54G), I'm stumped... its high on technical jargon and low on help or ease of use...

Anyone has got any other solutions...
I'm sure there must be a small simple program to do this on the billions of files on the net...
thnkx :)
