Connecting two pcs through cable, at the same time as wireless
- by Steffen
I've got 2 pcs setup with WLAN - however when I copy files between the machines it takes forever (obviously, since I run 801.11g).
So I thought, why not just connect them directly with a cable (my wireless router is the other end of the house, that's why I don't use cables to that)
However how should I configure the LAN connection on each machine, so I can use it for transferring files between them, whilst using my WLAN to access the Internet ?
I was thinking about letting one machine be gateway, but then Windows pops up with a lot of warnings (basically it says this won't work when you're using two disjoint networks)
And now I'm at a loss as to what to try.
