How to connect your pc with another using lan cable

Hello friends in this article you will find out  how to Send files from one computer to another by using Lan cable (cat5). If you don't like using big pen drives to share large data ( like big games,movies etc) so the only thing you want to use is lan cable.

Advantages of using Lan cable:

1. Cheaper in cost.
2. Data transfer speed is very fast.
3. Easy to configure.

Steps To Follow:

1. Connect one computer to another using lan cable.
2. Go to Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings.

3. Turn on network detection and turn off password protection off.(On both computers)
4. Bring both the computers on same network.Open control panel Control Panel >> Network and Internet >>Network Connections.

Put the following value on 1st computer

• Ip address 192.168.1.1          
• Subnet mask 225.225.225.0
• Default gateway 192.168.1.3

Put the following value on 2nd computer

• Ip address 192.168.1.3
• Subnet mask 225.225.225.0
• Default gateway 192.168.1.1 . 

Basically what we are doing is keeping the subnet mask same and changing the ip address .
