As for IP addresses, you could move to 192.168 range. Example use PC1 Nic2 192.168.44.1 255.255.255.252 and PC2 Nic1 can have 192.168.44.2 255.255.255.252. Just make sure to leave the gateway blank on PC1 Nic2. If you are using a switch/router for this you can use a straight through cable.

I may have to have them get a wireless router to solve this issue but here is goes

STATIC IP ON PC1 NIC 1assigned by IP provider
IP- 71.180.98.24
SM-255.255.255.0
GW-71.180.98.1

STATIC VPN ON PC1 NIC 1
ASSIGNED BY VPN PROVIDER
IP- 10.117.0.79
SN- 255.255.254.0
GW-10.112.01.1

Would need a static IP and correct SN for PC1 NIC2 and PC 2 NIC1 to allow for “sharing”
My attempts dont work, I cant ping or see the other pc.
When I tried using other Subnets.
I went to subnet calculator.com to try a few and got no results.

Is a wireless/wired router the way to go on this one?

PC1 has NIC1 with a static address and DNS assigned by the ISP provider on subnet 255.255.255.0 and cannot be changed

PC1 has NIC2 with no address, subnet or DNS as of now

PC1 has a VPN with a static IP and DNS assigned by the VPN provider on subnet 255.255.254.0 and cannot be changed

PC2 has NIC1 with no address, DNS or subnet as of now

I need an subnet and address for NIC2 on PC1 and NIC1 on PC2 that will not conflict with either existing static subnets but allow for “sharing” traffic between the two
Internet is not needed on PC2

What are the 3 IP addresses you are using, and which NIC are they set up on?

It is easier to help if I know these things.

The VPN connection can be made with just the one NIC. To resolve the sharing problem, get a cheap wired router/switch for them (if you are anything like me, you may just have an old one hanging around. Connect both machines to that, but set it up not to act as a DHCP server. Give both machines a static IP address. If you do not want the second to have internet access, simply do not add the Gateway address and DNS address(es). Map a drive to the second PC using the IP address instead of a name. Map the second machine to the first using the IP address also.
