Setting up a local network (between 2 PCs), does not see the cable, what should I do?

Question

Iron

I purchased an Rj45 cable today, it indicates the connection options (PC-PC is on the list). I connected a cable to both PCs, 0 emotions. What am I not sharing right? On one PC in the control panel - network adapters are empty, and on the other there is only the network card itself.

Answer 1

1. Check the cable.
Ping with special devices or plug into a working computer.
2. Firewood for network cards must be installed.
In general, there should not be any unidentified devices in the device manager.
3. In the settings of network cards, specify a hard IP, etc.
Wish: buy the simplest (cheapest) hub, or better, a router + another cable, and you will have a normal "network".
Z.Y. modern set cards allow the use of non-reversed cables. self-defining them.

Answer 2

To connect computers directly to each other, the cable must be crimped "crosswise", that is, on the one hand T568A, on the other hand - T568B

What emotions do you expect? Comps should joyfully squeak or bounce in place?
