Easy traffic priority??

Hi,

I have a small network of about 6 PC's connected to the internet by a
linux NAT box..

I have one PC that MUST have HIGH priority to the internet bandwidth above
all other PC's..

Is there an easy way to do this using IPTABLES or somthing basic that does
not require me to recompile the kernel and re-create the world??

( I have looked up traffic shaping and other things and it all looks way
to involved and complicated for what I need.. )

Thanks..

Did you try the ready made Windoer Shaper script ?

http://lartc.org/ contains a perfect script for this, as do other places on
the internet. You do nothing more than compile your kernel to have support
for QoS and a few iptables rules, fill in the values of your uplink and tell
what gets what priority. Moon-on-a-Stick too?

Other places are the ADSL-Bandwidth-Management-HOWTO and of course my drop in
script, however it evenly prioritizes and fair shares a link across a range
of machines, http://digriz.org.uk/jdg-qos-script/

Seriously, there are very easy script out there and I am not convinced you
have looked hard enough.
