How to control automated IP address from my PC to fix network latency

Network administration, Network latency, Networking, Windows XP, Shared Internet Connection

I have two network cards in my PC: one for the internal network in my office connected to a 16-port switch to transfer files between us, and the other is for a cable I take from an Internet cafe to get connected to the Internet. When i share this Internet connection for just two PCs every one in the internal network makes their IP address automatic so that when they use the Internet, it makes everything very slow.

My question is, how can I control this from my PC? Which PCs use My Shared Internet Connection? We all have Windows XP Professional w/SP2.

Please help.

Setup a DHCP server using a different subnet range for those devices that you do not want to use your connection. Assign static addresses to the devices you want to use your connection and then they can route traffic through your device as needed.
