How to connect two laptops via LAN

Make sure that both notebookx installed Ethernet controllers. Their connectors are similar to telephone.

Make a network cable. To do this, take the connector cable and the clamp. Knife and tongs remove the surface insulation of the cable at a distance of 2 cm from each side.

Next, distribute pairs of conductors and route them in different directions. Now build a core in the following order from left to right: white-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white brown, brown.

At the other end to build another sequence, also from left to right: white-green, green, white-orange, blue, white-blue, orange, white brown, brown.

Install the connector with the cable stuck in a pincer movement, and then to stop their hold. The cable locks. Similarly sharpen core, insert them into the connector and clamp the tongs on the other side of the cable.

Connect laptops new manufactured cable, and if done correctly, it will light the indicator "link". If these indicators do not burn or burn only on one side, check the cable, probably when compression was a mistake.

Install the drivers for the Ethernet controllers on both laptop's and make sure the network adapters are enabled.
