Throttling and Monitoring Questions

    After much trials and tribulations, I've got the network at home set up. There are two computers on it, the desktop which connects to the router with a cable, and my laptop which connects wirelessly. Now, seeing how I'm so much more important than the rest of my family, I'd want a way to limit the connection speeds to the desktop. I don't want it to be permanent, just when I need the bandwidth for important things.
    ¬_¬

    Also, is there a way of monitoring the download usuage of both computers combined, or is it just a matter of putting two and two together.

    Both computers are running XP Home SP2 and the router is a Linksys WRT54G.

    Also, is there a way to set it up so that NetMeter only records internet traffic and not traffic between my desktop and laptop? Or should I use different software?

    If you managed to get a hackable wrt54g stick dd-wrt on it and use iptables to manage your bandwidth.
