Hey Guys,

I'm using a linux box (Mandrake in case it matters) with iptables to 
share a cable modem connection. Some of the other users use Gnutella 
applications, which hog all the bandwidth and slow http and ftp down to 
a crawl. Is there some way that I can configure iptables to "prefer" 
http or ftp, and handle those packets before Gnutella packets? I 
remember when I was compiling my kernel some options for packet 
scheduling based on port... but I have no idea how to implement this. 
TIA!
