Correct. Any transfer will only go as fast as the slowest link the connection ("a chain is only as strong as its weakest link" rule). So, you could be on a T3 line, but if you're downloading from a web site that runs on a 56K modem (extreme example), your transfer will only get up to 56K speeds.
@ JJ,
For your network question, seach on Google for "Windows XP null modem internet connection sharing" (withou the quotes), or variations of that.
