I am lost.
I had a configuration with was working, but my usb WiFi doogle does not work anymore.
The configuration which was working
Doogle on PC A with 2 ethernet cards.
One connected to PC B: a laptop
one connected to PC C
Now, The laptop PC B is connect to a wifi mobile.
It works
wlp2s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.43.115 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.43.255
I set the ethernet interface "shared to other computers"
enp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.42.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.42.0.255
Now I am trying to connect this ethernet card to PC A
>From the network interface, It tried
"shared to other computers"
and
"Automatic (DHCP)",
but none of them allow me to make the connection
(connecting for ever).
Hence, I tried manually
10.42.0.5 255.255.255.0
It connected
enp1s0 flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.42.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.42.0.255
But the 2 computers do not talk together

I think if I'm reading your description correctly, this is roughly your topology and addressing?
If my understanding is correct
- the default gateway (0.0.0.0) from PC A (10.42.0.5) needs to be PC B (10.42.0.1)
- you probably don't want 192.168.0.122.0 to be a gateway configured on PC A
- you probably need ip_forwarding (net.ipv4.ip_forward) enabled on PC B if it's being used as an ersatz router
