Three Blokes is part of the name of the shop that me and two of my friends
are owners of, this is the business e-mail, thus the shortcut :).

I had been thinking about that, I think what I will do is restrict bandwidth
to every ip on the network, then use the dhcp to give 'special' computers a
set ip address and give those ip's full bandwidth, guess it's time to pull
up some dhcp HOWTO's :).

Would these scripts work with the dhcp in my situation?
Cheers Tony, I couldn't have wanted anything more in a reply than you gave
me, very helpful. Oh, and I apologise for missing out the topic? I didnt
even notice till I saw your reply!
