Heya,

 

Do you mean, have the 2 PCs connected via LAN cable to transfer data between the two, and have the wireless network for internet usage?

 

If so, then yeah  -_-

Just connect a LAN line and to the WiFi point and Win8 does the rest automatically.

What you want is a Homegroup. Here's a video. It will let your computers trade files easily.

Why don't you just get an Ethernet Crossover cable and connect the 2 pc's together with that and use wi-fi as well.
