XP PRO SP2

I have two network cards connected to my PC, one is a usb wifi adapter and the other is a PCI Ethernet adapter.
I use the wifi adapter to connect to my router, I would like to use the Ethernet adapter to setup a peer to peer connection to my other computer.
How can I do this without affecting my internet access?
Each time I connect the two computers directly; I am unable to access the net because Windows get confused.

Oh yess I almost forgot, I am using Hamachi, TightVNC, zFTPServer and Abyss Web Server. They all work together except each time a load Abyss Web Server; I have to specify a port other 80 to get it to work.

I want to do this to transfer files to my file server as fast as possible using a ftp client.

The way i remember setting this up for my xbox going thru my computer was to open up your network connections. Then go to properties on the card you wish to use as the P2P connection. Under advanced there is a option that says something along the lines of "Allow others to connect thru this adapter". Once thats checked you should still be able to connect to the internet and have your connection to your other computer.

I found out that specifying the Subnet Mask of the second network card allows me to – surf the net using one network card and transfer files to another computer using the second network card in a had-hoc set up.

I specified the IP address of the second network card as well as the Subnet Mask, example (255.255.254.0)
