how to set up pc to pc network?

[Deleted member 77746]

ive tried this though and it doesn't work, i cant ping each other and remains as unidentified network. ideally i want one with internet, but i have tried setting it up with everything apart from the Ethernet port disabled in device manager.

as i said teh only time it works is when i bridge the Ethernet and wifi connection on one of teh machines, but then within a few seconds it bsods.
suppose the other option is fresh windows install and see if that's my issue.

and dont want to go wall plug, that seriously diminish throughput from my experience, plus it would be cheaper just to buy a switch and 2 cables.

If you want 1 with Internet then connect that one to the net properly first.

Then post that IPCONFIG here and let me see what IP address settings it's getting.

You will still need a gateway and DNS set on PC1 if you want it to have the net.
