Limit the use of data on home network

Hello

I currently have three computers connected to a wifi modem with two computers running vista and a Mac SL running. I was wondering if it was possible to limit the daily use of computer data? I have experimented with the settings of the router/modem, but there is no built-in feature.

Modem: 2701 HGV - W (bigpond)

Any help would be fantastic.

I have no idea on the SL Mac (you will need to post this question in a Mac forum or contact support Mac), but as far as Vista goes, certain limits can be defined in part by using parental controls and in part by using permissions (but it depends on exactly what you want to say that I am addressing the following).  No process will actually limit the use of network data (although they can help you to set other boundaries that can help).

In Vista, here is the procedure for setting up restrictions. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls. Once you have access to parental controls, and then go to the section of deadlines and follow the instructions there (or for the other sections).  Technically, it's not a way to limit the use of data in itself - if by here you mean the amount of data accessed for a specified period (but you can limit the data that is used, what programs are available, what websites are allowed, when the computer can be used and several other things.  To limit the available data, you use permissions rather than Parental control, but well enough that is already treated as system implements security rights to prevent users other data and you can do this for any folder that you create outside profiles (while the file system are almost already protected - even on your part).  If you mean data over the Internet, then there is no way I know in Vista or IE which limit explicitly by the user.  Keep in mind that this will only work with standard user accounts as account administrator can simply replace the limitations or remove them all.  I know that's not what you asked really, but I thought that I should bring him as he is very much related.

Now for the good news that you want can be done with the 3rd party software free.  See the following:http://www.ampercent.com/control-internet-data-usage/4572/.  This seems to be exactly what you want and should do the trick.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    I connect to the router wifi, as my cell signal is not good at home, so if I connect to my wifi router, the signal is much better.

  • I want to limit the file sharing on a home network, Windows XP Pro (working group) to a specific user on a different computer.

    I can't get this username entered with success because I'm limited to only users on the computer, I'm trying.  I have Windows XP off file sharing simple.  Both computers running XP Pro and I can share the folder, but it is open to ALL.  Is there a way to do this?

    I would like to try to explain how it works.  You have XP Pro on Computer1 and you have disabled Simple file sharing.  It is a step in the right direction.  The facts are that the file exists on the computer 1 and is 1 computer to control what external connection gets access to this file.  Computer 1 can only validate combinations of username/password names he knows.  Is not in a domain, computer environment 1 includes only names of user and password that exists on the computer 1.  He cannot know or trust any combination of name of user and password that does not exist within itself.  The normal method, most people use is to create the same user on computer 1 that exists on the computer that connects and gives the same password that is used on the computer that connects to this user.  If this is the case, the external user connects seamlessly and have access if 1 computer gave this authorization to the user in this file.  Access can be controlled by right-clicking on the file or folder, select 'Properties' and then use the 'Security' tab to generate an access matrix.

    Authentication: When connecting to the computer 1 from another computer, computer 1 search first if the username on the computer connection exists on the computer 1.  If the user name of the user on the computer connection exists on computer 1 and passwords on both computers to match, the connection is established.  If the passwords do not match, the connection is refused.  If the user name of the logged in user does not match a user on computer 1, then the 'Guest' user is attempted.  If the guest user is not protected by a, then the user will resemble the user 'Guest' and 'Guest' appropriate access.  If the guest user is disabled on Computer1, and then the computer connection displays a name of User/Login screen asking the user to provide credentials (name and password) 1 computer can use and recognize to check that the user.  If a name of user and password recognizes that computer 1 is entered, then computer 1 authenticates the user with this credential.

    Of course, once authenticated, the user will have access to these files to which permissions have been granted to this user authenticated according to the KB307874.  XP cannot grant permissions to users, he knows not (obviously) beyond the 'Guest '.

    Bottom line is that you have discovered in a domain environment (workgroup), you MUST authenticate as a legitimate user who is (and who is not disabled) on Computer1.

  • Restrict the use of data - WLAN controller

    Hello

    I am designing a solution for a hotel WiFi facility. This is mainly to provide access to the visitors of the hotel.

    I wonder bandwidth throughput on a per customer basis - which I know can be done on the controller.

    I was also asked to verify if the use of data restrictions may be implemented by the customer.

    For example, they want that the restriction of the use of 1 GB / 2 GB on their visitors, after which they are not able to access the network without additional authorization.

    Is there a way to do this on a Cisco controller?

    Thank you

    Rahul Nair.

    This doco is convenient for the speed limit:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/113682-BDR-limit-guide-00.html

    In addition, Rasika explains very well vs TCP UDP in a blog:

    https://mrncciew.com/2013/05/01/per-user-rate-limit-in-WLAN/

    Regarding limiting the total data of a user; I don't think it's possible with just a Cisco WLC. You would probably need some kind of third-party tool... I can't find much except this post earlier which is probably still very relevant:

  • Cannot limit the use of Minecraft in App Restrictions on parental controls

    As most parents know, Minecraft is an app that is very popular with children. Unfortunately, parental control does not appear to offer a way to limit its use subject to restrictions of App.

    The app of Minecraft is an executable file that we download mojang, from the developer's site. It runs on Java. So safe family, its use is in the activity tracking > PC activity > Apps and games such as "Java (TM) Platform SE binary."

    However, when you look under App restrictions in parental controls, there is no "Java (TM) Platform SE binary."  And, of course, there is nothing for the minecraft.exe file either. He has a record of Java, but it contains only 'Configure Java.'

    There is no obvious way to add apps to the list of restrictions of App. The apps are either there already, listed as "apps already installed on these devices that [the child] may use", or else they are not.  If a person consumes the child account on a specific device, the only option presented is to change parental control online settings.

    (There is a post related here , but it deals with Windows 7 / 'parental control' and in the end, offers no help, apparently even for Windows 7)

    This seems to be a major oversight and negligent by the developers of parental control. I am amazed that they are ignorant of the use by children of Minecraft, or that they are simply not competent enough to create a way to limit the use of the application.

    If someone knows a way of parental control allows to limit of Minecraft, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll just assume that developers of parental controls are the boneheads is unresponsive.

    Hello

    Please refer to the image below and click on the option last restriction Desktop App. It will give you a list of installed applications. Select the game of Minecraft in the list and check.

  • Can I use the CD to add my printer to the other computers on my home network?

    Just purchased and installed a HP LaserJetPro 400 M401dn to my home network. Now that it is installed and configured as the default printer for my laptop, will it use the CD to add this printer to my wife and daughter networks, too?

    We are all running Windows 7 on every laptop.

    Thank you

    Hey rhodesmk,

    I recommend to install the drivers of comprehensive features, either from the CD or a download, on all computers that you want to use the Laserjet Pro 400 with.  This will ensure that all the features with each PC you want to have connected with the printer.

    I hope this helps.

  • Limit the use of bandwidth per device?

    My father-in-law uses a program that didn't live follow tickers in different stock markets in the world. It takes up bandwidth on our network and does not care if he does or not. It's a real pain, because he will not change his program or get his own connection.

    Is there a method to limit the speed/bandwidth of each system?

    Why not put a QoS rule in place, for this particular device (using IP address or MAC address) and give priority to "low"?

    Allowing him the course "low activity" of others to get optimum bandwidth, and when others are on the same router / network, it will give priority to traffic, via its connection.

    It seems to work at home, where users of League of Legends and Skype (I know who they are :-)) have a low priority, and my work VPN connections have a higher priority)

  • Surplus of the use of data in Windows 8

    Hello!

    I came with a problem in the Windows 8 x 64 operating system.

    I recently bought a new laptop with windows 64-bit preloaded OS 8.

    I used the mobile internet dongle to access the web in my old windows 7 PC so far and large worked.

    When I connect even with windows 8 PC, data usage exceeds the limit.

    After reading a few suggestions on the internet, I have disabled Windows Update, updates live tile on start sync settings screen, and my connection of device to inhalers.

    Even I put all downloadable options to Off, the volume of data download is much higher.

    Even I tried to stop BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service), its doing the same thing. When I restarted my PC, BITS started even his startup set to manual.

    I searched the internet and cannot find a perfect solution.

    I can't spend my time and don't want to lose my data.

    Please resolve this issue otherwise I'll go for the best ever Windows 7.

    I solved the problem by installing 'Open Suse Linux'

    I can access the stor-e of my laptop and pc, but cannot access the Stor-E when I go to the working groups then on my PC it calls for a Net User ID and password have tried my user id and password for my pc but this doesn t seem to work.

    Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong?

    But in general your Stor-E works correctly when you connect it directly on different computers, right?

  • A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

    I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

    1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

    2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

    I hope that makes sense, thanks!

    To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.
