Limiting bandwidth on a router?

This turd who I live with is hammering our connection with his p2p shit all the goddamn time, making my work a drag.

The router for the connection happens to be in my room heh, so I wondered if there was any (software/browser based?) way I could 'limit' the bandwidth he is allowed...

I found this http://netlimiter.com/ but am unsure if it's the right thing

The router is a Linksys WRT45G, we don't use the wireless on it....any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Do like I do, when I'm working and someone in my household is sucking bandwidth, pull there plug.

Just block the ports he's using for p2p. There's a lot of hacked/after market firmware for the linksys routers. Might be some that have speed and usage limits build in.

I am looking around on google, not just posting and expecting a solution, thing is I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to networking and routers etc..

I am using Tomato Firmware on my WRT54 It has some restriction settings but not sure if you can set BW by mac address.

Search for Tomato firmware and the site should have links to other firmware for the WRT54.

Google for "QOS", (stands for "Quality Of Service"), which is supported by some routers.

That router I believe does support QOS... open up http://192.168.1.1 and hunt around a bit... limit or bw cap his port.
