W2K router to divide bandwith?
I have a Windows 2000 Router with a 256K signal to the internet and sharing it with several subnets, each with its own NIC.
I want to set how much bandwith each of the networks can use from that original 256k Link to the internet....
Subnet 1 - Max 64 K
Subnet 2 - Max 128 K
Etc...
How can I do this? Do I have to use QoS or this is not that complicated?

I am not familiar with using W2K as a router, however, with a Cisco router you can use rate-limit statements applied to each router interface to set the maximum bandwidth, any burst value and a burst duration. Rate-limit statements utilize access-lists to define the traffic to be managed.

I'm just discovering that 2K's QoS has some similar features, but I have to see a solution for this particular situation....I have to set max bandwith by subnet or nic since wathever is on each subnet is unkown...external....kind of an ISP with a subnet for each client sharing the internet connection.
