Linux Networking Stuff

I have a Mandrake Server set up in my house, and I have a bunch of other computers that happen to be on Kazaa 24/7, with several dozen downloads each at any one time. To say the least, this is a bandwidth hog. So, is there any way that, through my server, I could limit the bandwidth on each computer? So that other computers have an acceptable internet connection?

Do you have a cisco router?

No, its a standard server-with-2-network-cards-one-to-the-net-and-one-to-a-switch-connecting-all-of-the-other-computers setup. We have some sort of 24 port switch where everything gets plugged in.
