Basicly im try to make our bandwidth equal currently 3 ppl are using the internet the modem and wireless router is in my room and i want evreone to have a fair and equal speed so does anyone have a program wich will allows me to set it so we all get same amount of bandwidth or it automaticly sets and shares,thx(pls leave links)=)

(i have googled no luck)

This is how the modem and wireless are connected the phone line from the wall goes into the modem then using ethernet goes into the wirless router i connect by one of the lan prts and the other 2 ppl connect by wireless so can i still mange the network here is a link D-Link DI-524 High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless Router

I am not sure if it would work but if your PC served the traffic to them maybe you could use Netlimiter... not sure.. I just woke up and I have a Massive cold probably on the verge of flu or worse... but I will try to look into it more later... you might try looking at building your own router box for this like IPCop Smoothwal or M0n0wall...

lets hope u dont get a flue lol
Or could i buy a ethernet card wich has two ports so the modem goes in to the card and comes out of the other port into the wireless routerand control from there?(but i have no money so i would rather software)

I dont think that it can be done without using a pc as a hardware router. I dont know of any software that would allow you to limit the bandwidth of someone else on your network, and I'm almost entirely sure it wouldnt be possible (unless maybe it was some sort of spyware you could manually put on their pc...). I would grab a few NICs and just rig up a pc to connect everyone else to the internet through. I wish there was some sort of software for limiting bandwidth, cause I would definitely use that to choke my roommate when I'm playing games. He thinks its funny to start downloading movies on my super slow dorm internet connection while I'm trying to play.

Here's a shareware link that has a whole bunch of utilities......Hopefully one will help you out.

You'll need to setup a network gate, through which you manage the bandwidth of other clients. Rock'nMale always offers good advice, and there are some apps (at least 1 that I noticed) that will work fine for your needs ... if you have a computer to setup as the network gate.

If not, you may wish to purchase a router / device that inherently does this kind of thing. This item, Welcome to PLANET Technology Corporation., is one such device, as is this one, Buy bandwidth Management Router w/ 4 Port. These can be expensive, of course. However, some basic routers for home use also exist with this kind of capability, such as LinkSys's BEFSR41.

What kind of router do you have, currently? It may have this capability already.

Also, a quick Google of "bandwidth management router" will come up with a vast amount of information for you.

Well, once again I ask, what is the make / model of the router you're using now?

This is the wireless router i am usng D-Link DI-524 High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless Router

Nope, that one doesn't have built-in bandwidth management / control. Suggest you search for one that does. Home and Small Office Solutions - Bandwidth Controller might be a good software solution.
