My current home network uses a PDC running Win2003AS, and a Gateway box also on 2003AS... it used to run RRAS, now running ISA Server (used to be MS Proxy Server). If his brother is a computer geek he could have a dedicated setup like this (or an equivelant using Linux) and be restricting access that way, OR he could be using a simple Cable/DSL Router... which could also be used to limit access... or he could simply be jumping on Gab's system and disabling the network adapter or modem (if dialup), or any of a large number of possiblities for shutting down a internet connection. If you think Routing and Proxy servers are random terms maybe I should add some background info on how they work? [ 09-10-2003, 05:13 PM: Message edited by: Thoran ] |

I was waiting for you to write a nice long description not because I needed it explained but because you would have spent ages on it

Bandwidth throttleing can be done at the router level... but he probably doesn't have the software to do it. -INSIGHT- (Been playing NWN too much) since bandwidth is such a problem you must be using dial up... and your brother's computer has the modem right? If so than it's a 90% bet he's using ICS and just changing the network adapter ip address on you. If (as I remember) ICS provides DHCP services all you need to do is setup your adapter to automatically get IP & DNS addresses... then if he changes his adapter address you can open a command prompt and run the following commmands: "ipconfig /release" then "ipconfig /renew". If the command prompt can't find the ipconfig app, it's in your windows/system32 directory. This assumes he isn't just shutting OFF ICS... and of course it doesn't fix your bandwidth conflict (which you'll need to do from your end... because ICS is an open pipe).

It could also be as simple as unplugging your network cable, too... never underestimate the power of hardware solutions
Personally, I'd ask him to help me find a way where we could both be happy... once you figure out your way through one roadblock, he'll simply put another, more complicated one, in your way. I know I would...

i had to shut off his puter in order to use his IP and DNS so that there would be no error.
i didnt change the gateway - they all seem to use the same gateway and mask and he seems to be willing to try out that netlimiter program so that should solve our issue hopefully. |
