HTB.init can do this. I have a MNF 8.2 firewall running both Wondershaper and HTB.init and I have found that they complement each other quite well. Wondershaper allows you to prioritise certain kinds of activity but not to place any real limits. HTB.init does allow real limits to be set on network activity (both incoming and outgoing) according to IP or port. IMHO any new MNF should have both integrated. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "To be a nemesis, you have to actively try to destroy something, don't you?
