Need help setting up temp LAN for file transfer...

[defender]

I feel like a fool for not knowing this myself but can someone tell me how to set up two computers to connect together via an Ethernet cable so I can transfer files?

I have them connected and one connection is fine but the other computer's connection gives me an error saying there is limited or no connectivity.

What now?

Cheers!

you have no hub or switch in between?

If not then you need a cross over cable, basically same as the cable your using, but wired differently inside.

You'll need to manually assign IP addresses, etc.
