netowrk hjelp, split the speed

ok i am new to networking.

i have a 3mb connection and two computers. am gonna set up a wireless netowrk as one computer is downstairs and the other upstairs. the thing is i download lots and dont want to use up all the speed on that, and want to know if there is a way to have 1 computer have 1.5 and same with the other. and what i would need to do it.

and what woul;d be great is if the oither computer isnt being used that the other one can use all the spped, is there any way of doing this???

i am a newbie to this.

thanks email me at URL as wont be using sites for a while, thank you

To do this, you'll need some form of advanced Internet connection sharing software on the computer with the Internet connection. Google around and you'll probably find some, but the only one I've ever seen is in ISA Server, which isn't really suitable for a home network. You may also find that advanced routers come with some options for bandwidth sharing.

Having said that, I'm not sure what the Internet Connection Sharing software built-in to Windows is like. I don't know if it equally shares out bandwidth between computers, or if, for example, one person is downloading, then it hogs all the bandwidth. You could try it out though, I suppose.
