Poxy Xbox dominating internet and off spring not listening

[mark g8awo]

Can someone suggest a method of teach my know it all offspring that Xboxes eat bandwidth on the internet...Once he starts shouting at his mates when to duck or other such instances...When it takes ages to load pages up or download emails he wont get it into his thick head that its the feckin xbox thats slowing things down...even tho his hardwired port is through a 10meg hub and every body else is on the 20meg ports.....I need a 1 meg hub to strangle his demands down otherwise next step will be the 10lb hammer.....Hes allready had the his mac address blocked from the wifi (shame) Plus he thinks we dont know he is on it till stupid o clock its a bummer when strange how his port gets unplugged at night cant think for the life of me how that happens.....

Give it the frisbee treatment - Jackie threatened to do it with the PS2 and the kids said " You wouldn't dare ..."

Scratch one PS2 !

Hi

If it were me , I would be running the xbox via its own server/router either via wifi or hardwired and bandwidth shape it into the main hub ...use a cron job to turn the connection off at a specified time..

Something like

sorry its Linux but thats what I work with

The problem I had was 50 users trying to get onto a 2meg connection ( a few years ago ) with the MD demanding the lions share hence bandwidth shaping.

That's the spirit...thrash em to within an inch of their lives, just to remind them how lucky they are!

Get yourself a Draytek Vigor 2820 router and use its Quality of service features to limit the bandwith for the xbox ip addres or port numbers.

Get him a decent bike. Worked for me.

The only problem with the short hand held devices is that when used, the target could go into muscular spasms and lash out and hit you ..

I suggest this as a option:

Which is a lot less disturbing than pretending you're an alien commando killing zombies in some far off universe.
