abuse

[micron]

We have shared our adsl connection amoungst other computers on our lan. One user in specific is abusing the system and as a result, we reach our 3gb cap early. Is ther any way of blocking this user?

Many ways.

What is the current network setup for your LAN. We can work from there.

Cheers

I had a similar problem and found a cool proggy that does the job just great.

If you have a netgear modem there are features to block off specfic outgoing services like Kazaa, etc which can be responsible for chowing up your bandwidth. I would suggest also searching your computers for spyware which can use a lot of bandwidth
