Is it possible to track each computer's (Download Kbps) each
day/week/month... connected to my Wireless BELKIN ADSL2+ 4-Port, 2-Port
VoIP, and 802.11g? Im not getting information i need from there WWW.

I have            WinXP ProSP2     LAN
Comp.01       WinXP ProSP2     Wireless
Comp.02       WinXP ProSP2     LAN
Comp.04       Win98SE              Wireless

Can i cut one off if they reach say for example a limit, of: 5GB/Month

I share a house with 3 others hence they share my adsl2+ connection and I
keep running out of downloads per month.

What can i do? anyone>>>>>>>>>>>

Jason,

Metering / monitoring / restricting individual Internet access is possible
generally only with routers / servers that are specifically designed for the
purpose, generally high end equipment.  Belkin generally doesn't fall into that
category.

You could probably get more advice on this issue in the DSLR Networking forum,
as your question comes up there occasionally.
