How to Connect Two Computers in LAN to Play games or for data transfer

LAN gaming is more fun than the games played with single player. So if want to play the multiplayer game or to transfer the data through LAN, just need one LAN CABLE such as follows:

LAN Cable Now attach this LAN cable to the LAN ports of both the Computers. To understand better I have one picture to show.

Now you just need to do is to set IP Addresses of both the PC’s as follows:

  • Press Windows Button + R to open Run.
  • Copy the code from here control.exe /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter , which are in red color and just paste it in the Run window opened and press Enter Key.
  • Then after another window will get opened, in that window, go forward to Change adapter settings > Local Area Connection
  • Now right click on Local Area Connection and go to properties.
  • Then after click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), in that choose the radio button named Use the following IP address
  • Now enter the IP address and subnet mask as shown in above picture in both the computers.
  • If want to connect more number of computers then go on increasing the last digit of IP.
  • You can use other IP addresses also. But these are Class C IP they are called fake IP means not used in Commercial Field. So it is better to use this IP.

Important Note:  Firewall of both the computers must be turned off as it blocks some of the connections or some Packets.

How to turn off the Firewall of Computer in Windows 7:

  • Open Run and copy the command from here Firewall.cpl with red characters and paste it in the run window and press Enter Key.
  • Now click on Turn Windows Firewall ON or OFF in the which got opened.
  • Now configure the options as shown in the figure below

Firewall OFF

Press okay and you are done. Turning off the firewall will allow you to play the games smoothly and also to transfer the data smoothly.

To transfer data from one pc to another pc just type the IP Address of computer from which you want to transfer data to another computer with double slash \\ (backward slash) like \\192.168.10.1. and press Enter. Shared files will be shown in your computer window and you can copy the data you need and transfer it easily with a very nice speed.
