Topic: Networking 2 laptops via ethernet

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Need help setting up the network settings so that two laptops can be linked together, using a crossover ethernet cable between the two laptops.
What do we need to do to enable synchronisation?

Select "Network synchronysation"

It works like a server-host
=> The host needs to know the IP of the server
(verify that the port is not locked by the firewall)

Then use the beatlock to synchronyse

How do i find the IP address and port number?

start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig

will show your ip. Might want to consider changing your IP to something static in tcp/ip config to make life easier.

turn off your firewall (software) so the port doesnt get blocked

start -> run -> services.msc

look for things like Windows Firewall, Windows Defender, Zone Alarm, or whatever you may have installed.



personally, Ive never tried this feature. I think i might though....
