Re:Check your router settings, it might have some built in options. I'm spoiled with my WRT54GS v2 and its open source firmware.
Re:Thanks guys, do any of you know of an Open-Source program that can do this? (for Windows Xp)

Is there an off the shelf router that would allow me to prioritize a particular network port (ie cat5 cable connection)?
Not quite off-the-shelf — DD-WRT on a compatible router gives you some ethernet port-based prioritization among others.

Re:I'm not saying to replace all your computers OS's, but to replace your router, as that is the best place to monitor/control bandwidth

there are several open source tools. The best would be pf (in *bsd) and I think that monowall may have this functionality out of box (monowall is a "router" type distro)
Thank you. I should have pointed out that I need something that would work in windows though, sry my bad
