My son has got 2 workstations running Win10Pro 64bit. Both have a wireless connection to a router for their internet connection.
He regularly needs to transfer very large files from one PC to the other. Although he shares folders, the wireless connection is way too slow for the purpose.
Since hardwiring both PCs towards the router is not an option in his place, and since both PCs are in the same location, I would be interested in a simple additional bridge connection between both PCs, using a 1Mbps Ethernet cable.
I have tried to do that but I don’t get any further than that this connection is shown as an “unidentified network” on both. Obviously, I am creating some “triangle” in my network connections. That does not go down well.
Is what I’m thinking of possible? I wonder if some clever settings would make file transfers go via the wire, and Internet data via the wireless?
Thx for any thoughts.
