Hi LTheobald and ScottGem,
My 2 laptop are now connected and I can tranfer the data between them.
And I feel to share my experience to the forum.
Firstly, I want to make my situation clearer:
- I have 2 laptop and each of them has a ethernet card (which are used to connect to internet through ADSL router) and I want to connect my 2 laptop with ethernet cable (not serial or LPT cable). The link of LTheobald is all about LPT and serial cable, and it is certainly not suitable for me (but it give me a good seach keyword: "direct connection" to search with google).
- My ADSL router just has one port; that means at one time, there is only one laptop can connect to the internet. So I do not have a LAN with such router. So the first suggestion of ScottGem is not suitable for me, but the second suggestion works well but we have some more works to do (plug the cross over cable between 2 laptop do not make them connected).
The keywords inspired by both of your post: "direct connection" and "cross-over" is very valuable. With some search with google, I found my solution.
- First, make/buy your own
cross-over cable
- Plug it between 2 laptop
- Right click the connection : Local Area Connection, Choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Click Properties and Set it an ip address
(for more detail see this
webpage . Do it on 2 laptop with different IP.
- Enjoy the result.
LTheobald and ScottGem, thank you for your help.
