I have one Desktop PC which is connected to internet through WiFi (WiFi adapter) and another PC that should be connected to the internet to via first one.
I plugged Ethernet cable between two PCs, but doesn't work. I am using Windows 7 in both PCs.
How to connect these two computers so that they both have internet and LAN to share docs between each other and other PCs those connected to WiFi router?

You might try to change the tcp/ip configuration manually.
On the PC with wireless
right click on the Network icon
click on Network center
click on Adapter options
right click on LAN-adapter
click on "Bridge connection"
wait to see active a new bridge icon
right click on the bridge-adapter
choose tcp/ip options
in the IP field assign an IP e.g. 192.168.1.101
in the Subnet field assign e.g. 255.255.255.0 or the same as for wlan- network
in the gateway field assign the IP form your WLAN modem (see WLAN-adapter-status-details or ipv4 options)
in the DNS 1 field assign the gateway-IP
click ok
disable bridge adapter and reenable it after few seconds
On the PC without wireless
right click on the Network icon
click on Network center
click on Adapter options
right click on LAN-adapter
click on options
choose tcp/ip options
in the IP field assign an IP e.g. 192.168.1.102
in the Subnet field assign e.g. 255.255.255.0 or the same as for wlan- network
in the gateway field assign the IP form your WLAN modem (see WLAN-adapter-status-details or ipv4 options)
in the DNS 1 field assign the gateway-IP
click ok
If this don't work
In the tcp/ip options choose the "share" tab
enable "allow other computers in the network to use internet"
click ok

Depending on nics, you may also need a cross-over cable. Most have mdi-x these days though. – Tim_Stewart – 2018-04-02T14:02:04.767
I have tried this already, but it doesn't work – Valeme – 2018-04-03T07:46:38.487
You need to bridge it, see the edit. – Tech-IO – 2018-04-03T14:52:42.347
