I want to limit the bandwidth in my cisco router, I have 2 mbps on one interface, i want 256 mbps on other?

easy, Use traffic shaping.  You create a access list with the traffic you want to limit.  turn on the traffic shaping command and refrence the acl.\n\nI warn you though.  If this is router is under heavy load your processor may not handle it.\n\nThats what i did.  cisco has many docs on traffic shaping and example configs.

you can use tcp optimizer ?\n\nhttp://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

get a 5 port 10/100/1000 gigabit NIC\njust so you can be leet and suck up all your LANs bandwidth

There's a piece of the puzzle missing... do you have dial-up? Broadband?\n\nIf you have broadband and you're getting poor results on only one of the computers, your router might have a control to set the priority from one port to another.  Check the port settings to see that they're appropriate.

Are you talking a dual router network. You may need to setup a gateway and have the router grab an address from the first router or hardcode it.\nIf one of the routers is connected to your high-speed connection, then you want to make that the DG and put that IP address into the second routers DG address.\nThere are several ways to do it, I guess your question needs to be explained a little further as to what you want to accomplish with the connection.

Fiber (100BaseFX) will give you 400 meters\n\nOr, you could use two switches as repeaters with 67 meter runs between them -- giving you a total length of 3*67 meters = 201 meters  You can pick up 100BaseT switches dirt cheap -- $20 or so on sale.\n\nSee table 2 in the Cisco Whitepaper referenced.

Depending on if your interenet service provider uses dynamic or static IP addresses, there is a possibility that you can have more than one.  The link below explains it all in layman's terms.  Hope this helps!

As many connections you have.  A router would allocate the connection request anyway.  How many do you want to add, 100?  I would add no more than 5.

I kind of don't understand the question, that's what routers are for.  In fact, if I understand you, you would have to use routers in that situation.  If you need them to be using the same network then you will have to bridge them, but other than that I don't see what the problem is.  If they are Cisco routers and they are new you can ask them to write up the config for you.

this depends on how you are planning on doing your setup. If you simply are asking your ISP for another IP address this will do nothing for your bandwidth speed. Are you using a T1 or DSL? You can get a second T1 provisioned and then you will have to "multiplex" your two T1s together to get increased bandwidth. You will have to purchase a T1 multiplexer. This is expensive. I doubt this is what you were planning. My guess is that you want to know if there is an easy way to get more bandwidth by adding another internet account. The answer would be no. You can not get more bandwidth by adding another IP address or internet account and doing configurations on your gateway. Best thing to do is call your ISP and request an upgrade and pay more for more bandwidth.

This would depend how you'll be connecting your router up and why.\n\nIf you are simply cascading them, and the second router will just act like a switch/hub, this'll be easy.  Meaning you really don't need its DHCP capability and your main purpose is just to expand your network. This is when you've connected the 2nd router to the 1st via ethernet port.\n\nJust make sure the 2nd router is 0n the same IP segment as the first router - e.g., 1st router is 192.168.1.1, then set the 2nd router as 192.168.1.2, and turn off the second router's DHCP capability. On the new models, you can find this on the Basic Setup page - it may say something like "Local DHCP Server".\n\nIf you're adding the 2nd router as a different part of your network, this is a bit more complicated.  Its just like what halfMt said.  I believe you may need to setup Static routing for your network.\n\nBest to email Linksys about this (good if both routers are Linksys, if not contact both manufacturers of your routers).

Unfortunately most home or small office routers that you purchase at a local computer store do not have the functionality to limit specific computers on your LAN to a specific speed.  I was in a similar situation where my roommate did a lot of file sharing and I like to game on line and his file sharing as affecting my gaming.  I searched endlessly on how to replace the stock firmware on say a Linksys DLink Netgear router but to no avail.  \n\nEventually I came across some custom router software that you install on an old computer with 2 more network cards depending on how many comptuer want to connect to the internet.  It is very powerful software and it has by the most functionality that I have come across.  You can read up on the specifics at www.star-os.com.

to use the boot setup thing that they have isnt a really good idea...\n\nu can configure it by urself...\n\nhere are some commands...(im in my cisco class now and we use 1700's too)\n\nwhen u first load ur router u will see the \nrouter>\nprompt, if u dont type "enable" and if it doesnt ask for a password then it should say\nrouter#\nthen type "erase start"\nafter that type "reload"\nthen ur router will restart and now u can do what ever...\n\nto set an individual port ip address use these commands\nrouter>enable\nrouter#config t\nrouter(config)#interface fast 0\n(^ will go to the fast ethernet port named 0, u may have more the one pot in which case replace the 0 with a 1; sometimes, depending on what router, u may have to type "fast 0/0" or "fast 0/1" instead of "fast 0" or "fast 1")\nrouter(config-if)#ip add (here goes ur ip address u want to set that individual port to followed by a space followed by the subnet mask (default is "255.255.255.0" for a class c address))\nrouter(config-if)#no shut\n(^ this command tells the port to stay open so u can use it THIS IS VERY IMPORTAINT NOT TO FORGET, IT WONT WORK WITH OUT IT)\nrouter(config-if)#exit\nrouter(config)#router rip\nrouter(config-router)#net (u have to type in here the network of the serial and fast ethernet port in seperate commands; eg. if ur ip address u made the fast 0 port was 192.168.14.1 then in the router(config-router)# prompt u would type\nrouter(config-router)#net 192.168.14.0\n)\nif u want a better idea of what to do...email me at jetsetsoaper@yahoo.com with more details of exactly what u want to do so i can help u

You must install the Bandwidth meter. You could also try a network traffic analyser instead.

I can see two possibilities for 2 nics (network cards) in a server system.  The first is to allow the system to act as a proxy/firewall.  The second is to use both the connections to connect to the network thereby effectively doubling the bandwidth of the machine (handy if your application is network i/o bound rather than restrained by something else on the machine).
