I agree with your thoughts, and I wish it were that simple.
This is a home issue. My son. I've confronted him several times. I'm tearing my hair out, he wont do as asked. The problem is our Internet has mb limits per month. I continually ask him to limit his downloads, and use off peak, but he refuses to listen, resulting in our allowance running out mid month and being limited to 128kbps for the rest of the month. And we have 90gigs.
I've been trying to find a way to limit http downloads, and get monitoring software that will enable me to quantify exactly what is going on, but no matter where I turn there doesn't seem to be an effective solution.
I could get tough with him, but that will only serve to push him away. I can't seem to appeal to his sense of fairness, and cooperation; a problem that is typical of many people of his generation... but I digress... sorry.
Anyway, we'll see what happens when I match mac to IP in the router...
thanks
