I've tried to send ping from one computer to the other and the request timed out.
I want it for sharing, and so I can use remote access.
Any suggestions?
PC1 is connected to your Router/modem directly. I'm surprised that you are picking up Gateway/ DHCP and DNS server IPs to be the same.
With you IPv4 settings in Properties, are all settings set to to auto detect?
For PC2, you are using the "Edimax 802.11g Wireless USB Adapter", i'm thinking this is partly the reason. How does this device talk to the wireless wifi which you would have created from the router?
To enable file sharing between two computers connected on a network. make sure you have the following installed and enabled (with check mark) in your active network cards configuration along with TCP/IP properties.
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks
Make sure both computers are on same network segments (same subnet mask). Give the IP of the wireless router as the default gateway and DNS server for both computers.
Now assign shares and permissons to folders you wish to share with other computer. Use username and passwords for both computers and give permissions to only these users.

I know how to deal with it when I'll see each computer on the other one, but I need is to get there.
And all of what you said is installed and enabled.
I really don't know, and I still can't send ping from one computer to another, I'm still getting the "request timed out" error.
Is them all being the same might be the problem? To what do I need to change it?

When you connect PC1 directly to the router using a cable, it takes the same IP as the router so that you can log in to the router setup from PC1 and let you configure it.
But I don't think it will put PC1 (while connected to router with cable) on the NAT to enable sharing with other computers (PC2) on the NAT.
I suggest you remove the cable connection between PC1 and router and connect to it using wireless like PC2. Then you can connect to the other computer PC2.
Ideal IP configuration is
Router 10.0.0.1
PC1 10.0.0.2
PC2 10.0.0.3
Default gateway 10.0.0.1
DNS server 10.0.0.1
Try this setup and let us know the results.
