Connect two computers for sharing datas

Connect two computers for sharing datas

Connecting two computers is very simple. You will need only the following component:

• An ethernet cable.

You will also need to make sure that the network drivers for the two computers that you need to connect have been installed, and that you will do by checking from the device manager.

The procedure to connect will be as follows:

• Turn both of the computers on.
• Take the network cable and plug it in the network ports on both computers.
• You should a see a green and orange light flickering on the network port to be sure that the network cable is working properly.
•  You then go to network and sharing center >> Change Adapter settings >> Local area connection >> Internet Protocol version and configure static network connection settings there.
• On one computer, put 192.168.0.1 and on another 192.168.0.2, and then use the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.
• Leave the gateway and DNS server blank for both computers.
• Save the settings.

Once you have done that, go to network and sharing center >> change advanced network sharing settings and do the following:

• Turn network discovery on.
• Disable password protected sharing.
• Enable public folder sharing.
• Save the settings.

Once you have done that, you just go to My Computer, and then click on network. Therefore you will see the name of the other computer and you can share files with it.
