ie will it work and will the bandwith be split between the connection
thanks

If you put a ADSL router in place you could then either use the routers IP filter table to only allow those 2 machines outbound or simply change those 2 machines default gateway to point at the router and leave the others without a default gateway. If your going to connect a broadband connection onto your network you really need a firewall of some describtion as well.

I use this NAT32 Plus software
www.nat32.com
on an old pentium 75 machine running Win98. The USB modem plugs in to this machine and the software shares out the connection across the LAN to all the other PC's in my house.
The software is dead easy to set up - regardless of what you think from the web site.

We have used both an ADSL Flat Fish Modem with a network conection in between Pc's with no problems at all and we now have a ADSL network router hub and both Pc's conect to that,the only problem we have is the firewall is to good in net meeting/messenger, because you can't send files in those programes anymore.

Not being able to send files with Messenger is a consequence of the network address translation mechanism used rather than the firewall itself.
Explanation
When one of your PC acts as a server (eg, so another msn messenger can connect to it to send a file) it is acting as a server on the Local LAN (ie, usually has a 192.168.0.xxx address). This means nothing on the other side of the router can see this machine - so no machine on Internet will be able to connect.
