So i got 2nd network card on my main pc because i need fast internet on laptop too when at home, as i looked it should ''transfer'' internet through pc to my laptop and it just doesnt work, it just doesnt work for me (i did that set up on card itself)
My OS (on both devices) Win 10
Network card D-Link DGE-528T

Why not just connect the laptop directly to the router, like the desktop is?
If you don't want to run another Cat5e to the desktop/laptop location, an inexpensive switch will do that easily.

Agreed that an inexpensive switch is far far better for this task.

This is not a "plug it an and work endeavor" in regards to using PC this way. You have to bridge the connection and setup IIS on the system.
In the end the switch will not only be easier, but perform better as well (and your laptop wont be deponent on your PC being on either)
