Crossover LAN connection between Ubuntu And Windows 7 is not working
- by brett
my question is closely related to:
How do I connect Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7 with an Ethernet cable?
What I am after is:
Windows 7-------wireless-----\
Wifi router
Ubuntu 10.04----wireless-----/
Windows 7-------wireless-----\
|
cross_over_cable Wifi router
|
Ubuntu 10.04----wireless-----/
What I did was
On Windows edit
system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add the following line:
192.168.253.2 my_ubuntu_computer_name_&-wired //?not sure if this is right
On Ubuntu:
sudo gedit /etc/hosts
Add the following line:
192.168.253.1 my_pc_computer_name&-wired //?not sure if this is right
and then Ubuntu 12.04 as the host
Right click on the Network Manager applet, click Edit Connections...
In the Wired tab, click Auto eth0, then click Edit...
In the IPv4 Settings tab, change Method: to Shared to other computers.
Click Apply and enter your password when it asks you.
Close everything and reboot.
Plug the Ethernet cable into both computers.
But,
I can connect to my windows network folders from ubuntu via wifi
I can't connect to my ubuntu network folders from windows via wifi(in fact this bit was working before - so my wifi connection is worse)
my ubuntu Auto Ethernet seems to be on
