I see a picture of four items: computer, laptop, router & Internet.
But I have doubts about the connections, especial because the two network
cards in a system. I'm gonna try:
Inet --- Router --- PC --- Laptop
---(Inet--Router) --- (eth2:PC:eth0) --- (ethX:Laptop)
I assume that the laptop is being installed, but I could be wrong.
So halting further thinking about it.
Back to your question:

Please don't waste your time on typing in IP-addresses.
I'm will to help you find a better way to achive your goal.
Send an updated picture of your network (or a confirmation about the above)
provide also which IP adres each interface should have.
Cheers

Jens: Doing _this_ off-list is fine for me.
