Extremely Frustrating

Ok i have two computers running xp, my main one is connected to the internet by the inbuilt network port, i installed a network card so i could connect the other computer through it, plugged everything up, ran the network wizards and everything and i still cant find the other computer on each one, limited or no connectivity status, is there a way i can run the net through the inbuilt network slot and connect the other computer to my main through the network card, any input would be greatly appreciated.
