Yeah this makes sense with a 0.5mb/s upload rate and 50GB of data to upload.Mekstizzle wrote:

You may not even need a crossover depending on the on board NIC. Some will auto detect the direct NIC to NIC connection.steelie34 wrote:

true. i was going to mention that, but tbh i've never actually had that workjaymz9350 wrote:

Yeah, people always claim that you can do it with regular ethernet, but I've always used crossover.steelie34 wrote:

It does work, at least with some on board NIC's. I can connect my DFI SLI-D and Abit IP35-Pro (not sure which detects it) with a standard patch cable which I've done for very large file transfer for a little extra bandwidth as the NIC's are gigabit and my router is 10/100.ghettoperson wrote:

Not explicitly, although one manufacturer may coincidentally not ship auto sensing ports. An Ethernet port can be MDI or MDI-X, which only means the transmitting/receiving pairs are swapped. An MDI -> MDI-X works, MDI -> MDI doesn't; in which case you would use a crossover. Some ports, at first only a select few on switches/hubs, could auto-switch depending on if the connection worked at first, or not. Most modern NICs are auto sensing.steelie34 wrote:
i think it has a lot to do with make/manuf of the card. i had two gigabit cards, one an intel and one a netgear and they couldn't negotiate the link.
Routers are usually .1Defiance wrote:
If he has an ethernet cable, it should work. You have to set it up like regular windows file sharing, so yes, same workgroup. Secondly, they both have to have IP addresses in the same network. Scroll down to assigning the IP addresses if that sounds unfamiliar.
Assign the computers like this:
Desktop IP: 192.168.0.1
Laptop IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask (Both): 255.255.255.0
Ignore the default gateway or DNS servers.
yeah, but usually .1.1, not .0.1Winston_Churchill wrote:

They're usually whatever the manufacturers want them to fucking be.VicktorVauhn wrote:

Doesn't sound very practical, unhooking cable and connecting it again...Varegg wrote:
