By default no traffic is balanced at all. All packets that arrive will be sended out as fast as possible and in the same order. But you can use SFQ that will give each flow (combination of ip-address and port) the same chance to transmit something. > Is it possible > to configure the linux based router so that all computers will have the > same privilegies?

If I understand correctly, you want to give each ip-address the same rights. There is no qdisc or filter who can do it automatically (the wrr qdisc can do this but I never tried it ou). If there are not to many ip-address, you can create for each one a class (with CBQ or HTB). Each class holds the traffic of 1 ip-address and each class will have the same rights to transmit something.
