i need to be able to say limit the amt. of bandwidth each client receives say i need one computer to receive half of the total bandwidth and the other 8 receive the other half shared equally.

which linux software or feature of any linux distribution is capable of carring out this task?

squid for http access.

see squid.org

you could block ftp and make them use the browser to do passive ftp thru the proxy but IE has a problem doing it, or limit the interface with cbq.

there will still be a problem with things like napster and streaming audio.
you will have to block the ports they use so they will have to proxy thru http as well.

i checked the link ....i was hoping that the procedure was less complicated .... this method may result in too many problems...
i was thinking more of the use of a gui software....
