Hi Daniel,

You simply have to put the traffic control (tc) on the ADSL connection, 
not on  the "network connection".

Do you use a PPPoE connection on your computer? Then put the tc on the 
ppp connection.
Do you use an external router? Then you have to manage the tc with 
iptables or any other type of traffic marking. This method is also 
described in the http://lartc.org/howto.

If this isn't want you asked, please provide some information :)
