duel network cards in an xp machine

I am having issues with running duel network cards in an
xp pro machine. I currently have 2 separate networks
runnings. One is via wireless network and another is
direct networking cable.
The wireless network is for internet only and I want to
set up 2 machines to talk to one another, but both have
wireless and integrated network cards. They currently
talk (through the wireless), but it's way too slow.
How do I set it up to enable file sharing through these 2
machines using the integrated network card and not the
wireless?
Thanks
Roland

On each computer, right click the wireless network connection, click
Properties, and un-check the boxes for "Client for Microsoft Networks"
and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks".
