Since computers' inception, connectivity and data transfer have remained two of their most critical applications. To accomplish the same thing, technology has advanced at a breakneck pace; and among the numerous techniques available, one is to use high-quality ethernet cables. If you're unsure how to connect computers using bulk ethernet cables, have no fear; we're here to help.
Before we continue, let us emphasize that one of the primary benefits of data transfer via an ethernet cable is security. Additionally, an ethernet cable comes in handy when Wi-Fi is unavailable.
Keep an eye out for Ethernet ports.
To begin, you'll determine whether your devices (in this case, computers) have Ethernet ports. If you're using a desktop, Ethernet ports are located on the backside of the CPU tower; if you're using a laptop, Ethernet ports are located on either side of the laptop's housing.
The ethernet port on iMac computers is located on the backside of the monitor.
Are you missing an Ethernet Adapter? Could you purchase it?
If you do not already own an Ethernet adapter, you may need to buy one. This situation occurs when your computer lacks an Ethernet port. There are numerous adapters available on the market; choose one that best suits your needs.
Mac users should also check their USB ports. This requirement arises because Mac users may only have USB-C ports, necessitating a USB-C adapter or an Ethernet to USB-C adapter.
Choose between a crossover Ethernet cable and a straight Ethernet cable.
Nowadays, almost all Ethernet ports support both crossover and serial Ethernet cables. If you are a novice and unable to tell the difference between a crossover and a straight ethernet cable, have no fear! We are here to assist you!
The game is simple. All you need to do is inspect the colored wires on both ends of your high-quality ethernet cable.
On both ends of a crossover ethernet cable bulk, the colors are ordered differently.
However, the color scheme is identical on both ends of a straight ethernet cable bulk.
If you have an older computer, it is recommended that you purchase crossover ethernet cables. It will prevent you from having to deal with unnecessary issues.
Interconnecting the Ethernet cable
The critical step now is to connect the high-quality ethernet cable to the computer. First, connect one end of the cable to the computer so that the cable's head fits into the device's ethernet port with the lever side facing down.
If your system does not include an ethernet adapter, you will connect the adapter's USB end to one of the system's USB ports.
The other end of your high-quality ethernet cable should now be plugged into the second computer.
Once connectivity is established, you will proceed to the second phase, which is configuring the computers.
To access the control panel, navigate to it and click the "Network and Internet" icon. If the words "small icons" or "Large Icons" appear on your screen, simply ignore them. Instead, navigate directly to the "View" tab, which appears in the window's upper-right corner.
Now, select "Network and Sharing Center." This link is located at the top of your screen. The association "Advanced Sharing Settings" is located in the upper-left corner of your screen.
All that remains is for you to check the "Enable file and printer sharing" box. This tab is located in the menu section titled "File and printer sharing."
Select the "Enable file and printer sharing" check box. This box is located in the "File and printer sharing" section.
Now that you've selected the "Save changes" tab, you're ready to share your files between the systems.
