Networking?

Hello everyone, i have a situation and i'm hoping someone could help me out. I have a tenant renting a room and uses the internet excessively, to the point where i can't even do my homework or check my emails...(and even this post on yahoo answers didn't get through, and i had to retype it). The tenant is on a different router, separate from my network, is there anything i can do to control the speed? I heard about a program called netlimiter that would do the tirck, but seeing as we're not on the same network i don't see how i can use the program. Any help would be awesome, thx in advance.

Networking?
Are you on wireless? i do not see why this would bog it down THAT much unless you have ALOT of things going off of one modem and everyone is downloading music or other stuff......talk with your tenant
Reply:Look in your router for MAC Address Filtering. Put in your computer's MAC address (and the MAC address of any other computers you want to use your connection) and he won't be using your connection any longer.





You can find the MAC address by typing





ipconfig/all





in a Command Prompt window. It's the "Physical Address".
Reply:Hmmm... different network, different router, but actually problems..





Here's a guess.


You are wireless..


You are on channel 6


you have the SSID as your neighbor. (maybe linksys or netgear)





Change your SSID and switch channels, you won't have cross-talk with your neighbors wireless...
Reply:Sounds like his router uses your router to get to the Internet? If that is correct, look for a policing policy on your router to slow him down to a percentage of the available bandwidth, or as others have suggested for wireless, look for channel problems, you may be using the same wireless channel.
Reply:Hang on if your not on the same network why is he affecting you?


Are you both going to the internet througth the same gateway?
