I am looking for a way to limit the bandwidth (speed and amount) of a newtwork connection.

i have a computer with internet at home and my neighber wants to use my internet connection and what i want to do is make a connection between the 2 computers with a RJ45 cross cable. (ethernetcard to ethernetcard without a hub/router). i am looking for software to controll the speed and download alowence on this card so i can allow my neighber to download/upload at max 32kbyte/s and download/upload max 5gb a month.

the reason i want to do it over a crosscable card 2 card ethernet connection is because i think this is easier. i have a router thru which my internet connection is available to my computers, and ther is enuf space for another computer but i dont see how it would be possible to limit the bandwidth on my router without limiting the speed to my own network...

thanks I learned a bit yesterday, today i learned a lot, imagine what i'll learn tomorrow!
