I found a program called Socks Serv. It can limit the usage on specific port numbers but I cannot start up the server after that. It says the port number is currently in use.
 
What should I do? Please help me. Is there built in features in Windows 2000 that does this for me or do I need some other program?

On my "Windows Component Wizard", there is a "QoS admission control service" that is not installed. The descriptor for this is "Allows you to specify the quality of the network connection of each subnet". This was found under "Network Services".

Just tell Hotline to use a proxy server located in China or someplace really far away. That will keep the bandwidth to a solid 50 bytes/second

OP
haha. If it would be possible I'd set up my own firewall and point to it from Hotline. But right now, Hotline can't do that.
 
Can anyone here send me QoS? I'll arrange a temporary FTP for you to upload it too.
