Hello NG!

I have the following problem:

I am administering a LAN, with some Windows clients and an SuSe gateway.
SuSe is routing via iptables.

Now one of the clients is using the internet bandwith heavily. The user
won't regulate himself, so I have to regulate him, as it seems.
But how?

I have got internet access with 1024/512 kb/s. I want to allow the client to
use maximum 50% of this bandwith.
Can anybody tell me how?

Thanx for any hint.
Tom.

p.s. i have samba running as pdc on the linux box.

How are these boxes connected to yours? A hub?

the linux box has got two NICs (Twisted Pair, 100MBit). One is connected to
the DSL-modem, and one to a network switch. into this switch are plugged
from time to time some workstations and permanently a hub. in this hub there
are plugged permanently 2 workstations.

Assuming the router/firewall is a Linux box, you need the tc command.
