ok just enter internet cable to pcB (first lan card).. do all the necessary settigns and all that so that ur internet works properly on it...

then attach both ur comp (pcB on the second lan card and pc A on its), with the crossover cable...

then create a new connection on this cross over cable.. settings can be like this..
ip 10.192.25.1 (pc b)
10.192.25.2 (pc a)

gateway - 10.192.25.1 (pc b)

then when u right click any of the connections, there is a option of bridge connections.. just select both ur connections...

i think that should work... please tell
