The purpose of two ethernet ports is to connect to two different networks.

 

What are you intending to do by connecting another computer directly to the other ethernet port that you cannot achieve by connecting both the controller and your computer to the same network?

Is possible to connect and get the data of the testing in two different computers connecting in each LAN port of PXI 8881? or I use a router and connect both computer in the same network?

The simplest option is to connect all three to the same network.
