How to set priorities for network connections

Hi,
I'm working on a computer that has two network connections - a wired
connection to the internet and a wireless connection to a robot, which is not
connected to the internet.

However, Windows keeps trying to use the wireless connection for internet
connectivity, it seems, since if the wireless is not disabled I can't access
internet sites. Is there a way to tell it to use the Ethernet first?
Actually, is there a way to have it split bandwidth between two connections
(if I had another internet connection)?

Thanks.

May be this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/metrics.html
Using Client OS (like windows XP) two NICs can Not work at the same time
with the same connection.
