Share printer and folder in a network and


transfer file from one computer to another

Connecting two computers using a crossover ethernet cable is the


safest and easiest way of transferring files, pictures, videos, and
music. This data transfer creates a network for sharing data, and
using two electronic resources, thus avoiding having a separate
networking facility for each computer. This tutorial will explain
how to link two computers using an ethernet cable.

Set Up a Network between Two Computers The first step is to


connect the crossover Ethernet cable to the LAN (RJ45) ports of
both computers. Now, follow the directions below working with
one computer at a time.

Start on the desktop of PC 1 and go to My Computer > Properties >


Computer Name.
Change the Computer Name to A and the workgroup name to
ABC. Click on OK to save changes.
Next go to Control Panel > Network Connections. Right-click on
your LAN connection and select Properties.
Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties and enter the
following values:
IPAddress:
192.168.0.1

Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
.

All other fields should be left blank. Click on OK to save


changes.
Now take the second computer, and head to My

Computer > Properties > Computer Name.

Change the computer name to B and the workgroup name to ABC.


Then click

on OK to save your changes.

Now head to the Control Panel > Network Connections. Right-click


on

your LAN connection and select Properties.

Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties and then enter the
following

values:

IPAddress:

192.168.0.2

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

Leave all other fields blank and click on OK to save your changes.

Check LAN Connection


After the connections and settings have been saved, both PCs
should be connected

by LAN. You may need to restart both computers to implement the


changes.

You can check if the connection is working by pinging one PC from


the other.

Take PC1 and head to Start > Run > CMD > ping 192.168.0.2.

Then, on PC2, head to Start > Run > CMD > ping 192.168.0.1.

You can view both PCs in My Network Places.

You can now use this LAN connection to play multiplayer games or
share files.

You can also map a drive on another PC to a local drive by going to


My

Computer > Tools > Map Network Drive and choosing the drive
letter and

network path of the shared folder on the other PC.
