Hi all

I have many PCs on my network and 2 of them MUST reach the Internet with a decent bandwidth at all costs.
How can I prioritize them ?

thanks in advance

I'm not an expert or even intermediate traffic shaper user, but I want to help you out so here goes…

Create an alias for the two PCs that need top bandwidth, eg. VIP_PC
Run the Traffic Shaper wizard to create a VoIP shaper only.
Use the alias (VIP_PC) you just created as the VoIP source.

That should be it. The wizard will create a VoIP queue that gets top bandwidth, except you won't be having any VoIP phones using it, just those two PCs. You can check it by looking at Firewall - Rules - Floating. You should have two rules, one in one out, that directs all I/O for those aliased PCs to qVoIP
