Hello is there anyway to limit file transfer speed on the local area network (not the wan port)? I have a tv tuner farm on my server wich I use to stream live tv to other computers on network. Problem is when I start a file transfer it maxs my connection leaving tv unwatchable. I am running windows 7 hp and have a wired gigabit network. Thenks in advance. cheers

Does your router support QoS?

It should just be a matter of looking at the manual again and knowing the ip addresses of whatever you have plugged in.

Checked out the software you linked to but it only shapes internet traffic as well surely there is software that will limit windows file sharing speed?

Are you sure Netlimiter only works on Internet traffic? Admittedly, their website doesn't really give much information, but from what I can tell, it works on all network traffic. It even says it monitors LAN traffic if NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled, which it is by default. It filters based on application.

Did you actually install it and try it out?

yes I installed it. I went through the rules but could not find any reference to lan traffic only lan to wan or wan to lan. Will check again but pretty sure there was no lan traffic shapping.

what is net bios over tcp/ip perhaps This is why it wont work how do I install it? Also can I choke file transfer protocol with it? What protocol does windows networking use? Simpilest way I can see is to choke the file transfer protocol all I can see in the program is to set the priority of the application, this does nothing and I can do that within my tv tuner streaming program really need to be able to shape lan file transfers then everything else will fall into place.:confused:
