I have two PC and both have USB ethernet adaptor acessing a wireless router to access internet. Both PCs have NICs as well. While keeping both USB adapter, I want to use NICS to connect both PCs using cross over cable. What and how would I do this? The following is the IP information when crossover cable is connected to both PCs as well as USB adapter.

Please help me with step by step instructions.

 
Since your Wireless is on 192.168.10.xx

Give the two Wired NICs static IP of 192.168.20.xx and configure the Sharing.
