I can tell you that 250.250.250.0 is not a valid subnet mask and that you shouldn't use static addressing.

1. Connect your laptop with your desktop through a switch and setup static IP addresses for these two computers (192.168.0.1 for laptop, 192.168.0.2 for desktop)
2. Configure your laptop to bridge the network from wireless to wired network
3. Configure you desktop and set the default gateway to the IP address of your laptop (192.168.0.1) and set DNS of your desktop to the same value as the auto DNS of your laptop..
4. Adjust whatever sharing configurations you previously had to compensate for the changes you have just made.
Should work? Good luck to you

or you could just go buy an old x8 broadcom wifi adapter for like 2$ from a thrift store if you have that option. lol
