How to create a LAN network between two computers?

AI Overview

To create a LAN network between two computers, connect them with an Ethernet cable, then configure static IP addresses on each computer, and ensure file and printer sharing is enabled.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Physical Connection:
  • Ethernet Cable:

Use a standard Ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable) to connect the two computers.

  • Connect to LAN Ports:

Plug one end of the cable into the LAN port (the Ethernet port) on each computer.

  1. Network Configuration (Windows):

  • Access Network Settings:

    • Click the Start button, then click “Settings”.
    • Click “Network & Internet”.
    • Click “Advanced network settings”.
    • Click “Change advanced sharing settings”.

  • Enable Network Discovery and File Sharing:

    • Under “Network discovery,” turn it “On”.
    • Under “File and printer sharing,” turn it “On”.

  • Configure IP Addresses (Optional but Recommended):

    • Access Network Adapter Properties: Right-click the Ethernet adapter in the Network and Sharing Center and select “Properties”.
    • Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”: and click “Properties”.
    • Choose “Use the following IP address”: and manually assign static IP addresses to each computer, ensuring they are on the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.x).
    • Example:
      • Computer 1: IP Address: 192.168.1.100, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.
      • Computer 2: IP Address: 192.168.1.101, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.

  • Test Connectivity:

    • Open a command prompt on one computer and type ping <IP address of the other computer> (e.g., ping 192.168.1.101).
    • If you can ping the other computer, the network connection is established.
  1. Sharing Folders (Windows):
  • Right-click the folder: you want to share and select “Properties”.
  • Go to the “Sharing” tab: and click “Advanced Sharing”.
  • Check the box that says “Share this folder” .
  • Click “Permissions”: and adjust the permissions as needed.
  • Click “Apply” and “OK” .
  1. Accessing Shared Folders:
  • On the other computer, open File Explorer and navigate to the network.
  • You should see the shared folder from the other computer.
