How do I prioritize two conections to the same network

I have two machines in the same room both on a Microsoft local area network. I also have a EEE1394 cable between the two machines to pass large video files faster than the regular network. How can I set priority so that file transfer will choose the 1394 conection before the eithernet conection?
 
Manually set the IP for The 1394 connection on a different subnet mask

(e.g. if ur regular LAN IPs are say 192.168.x.x Subnet 255.255.222.0, then set the 1394 NIC IP of machine 1 to say 10.1.1.1 Subnet 255.0.0.0 and 1394 NIC IP of m/c 2 to 10.1.1.2 subnet 255.0.0.0)

Now to do large file transfers from m/c 1 to m/c 2, open \\10.1.1.1 from m/c 2 and start the transfer.... :hap2:
