Configuring system to use ethernet or Wifi

I generally use the wifi to browse, but I find transferring files between computers is often slow - best case would be the 54mbps stated by the wifi system tray icon drops to 48mbps, worse case - it can drop down to 1-5mbps and sometimes it cuts off at some point during transfer. For this reason i like using a crossover cable and trasferring files through ethernet. But to avoid my wireless connection doing the file transfers I am manually accessing \\10.1.1.1\sharedfoldername where 10.1.1.1 is an ip i've given to the ethernet card. Ideally i'd like to have someway to use the ethernet by default for file transfers only and wireless for browsing only. Is it possible? Cheers
