These workarounds will fail as soon as other computers on the LAN also use the Internet. (this is also true for wshaper-over-LAN versions) You have to install wondershaper on the Internet router, not on the computer(s) behind. If this is not possible, configure a Linux box on the LAN as an Internet gateway and install wondershaper there. Regards, - Dietrich
