QoS with ADSL, query.

With a split speed connection on ADSL, (mine is 256KB down and 64KB up).

What should I enter for the amount of bandwidth on the NIC ?
256 or 64 ?

I'm guessing 64 ?

Depends on what you wanna shape , incoming or outgoing?
Since if you enter 64, you'll be able to shape up to 64 also
the incoming bw that's 256 .

QoS is only possible on outgoing traffic!
So 64 would be the right choise for me!

I repeat. depends.
If you wanna shape download speed, you must use your incoming bw. SInce download traffic is 'outgoing' from LAN nic, you can shape it.

hmm.. i would enter the 256KB (just guessing) kinda like Frame Relay CIR.

but then again just guessing. err.. whats the problem? assuming u have at least a 10MBit interface, you can still transfer data 40 times faster than the ADSL can send it. so the NIC itself is pretty much always sleeping... (when not processing millions of NetBIOS packets )
