      #356523 - Sun Jul 08 2007 05:35 AM

hi i have a greedy user on my home network and we have to keep unpluging his computer anything i can install on his machine to share my 2 mb conection half and half? or should tell him good luck with the credit checks on getting his own internet service

ps i have all ready tryed changing his application settings but he chages them back to hog the internet even when he sleeps his downloading speed is high and i cant find a good time of day to use the internet since he ALWAYS downloading something

by the way if he gets caught downloading and copying cd dvd ect because i pay for the internet connection is there any legal come back on me? or will it be him and only him answerable for his actions?
how can i prevent him from copying cds and disks on his computer other than watching like a hawk?

It seems to me that as the bill payer you decide who uses your home network and how much use they make of it. Simply withdraw the service form this user by removing the cable from the router. If it's a wireless connection, change the WPA key to one known only to yourself. If he's changing the router settings, change the login name and password on the router to one only known to you.
