I have two NICs that are connected to two different networks, one of which identifies me by my MAC... Both networks contain different pcs, some of which should be allowed to share my internet connection but who gets how much bandwidth should be controllable as well... Oh, and there has to be a certain degree of bridging so that some or all pcs from network A can access network B, but only via the gateway, as not to trigger the MAC guard...
and If I just go into a shop and by a simple rounter i can swear that it won't be able to manage that... but the two software solutions I found both had no problems with this configuration, but they are both not Vista x64 compatible...
