Where is everyone - don't you want to help?

The link above seems to cover things. Which bit did you need additional help with ?

Perhaps if you explained WHY you want to connect them (i.e. what you want to achieve, what is the end goal), someone may be able to help properly.

As it stands, the answer to the basic question has already been given.

Can anyone please help?


on clicking set up a new network it says chose a network but nothing comes up

Why are you trying to set up a wireless network when you have already been told to ignore that and configure static IP addresses!

If you had actually read steps 1 to 4 in the link provided, everything that you need to know was explained in words and pictures!

Sometimes it is just not possible to help an illiterate idiot.

Oh dear aardvaark. You really seem to be struggling.
That link gives you (or links you) to all the info so you really needed to explain why you had problems.



For one you did elaborate on, from the article

If you need more info about static IPs, make sure to read my post on how to assign a static IP address in Windows and Mac.

complete with link https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/windows-mac-assign-static-ip-address/


But I would ask why you opt to use a crossover cable? With normal plugged via your router connections (presuming you have one) connections will be made without having to play with IP addresses. The link to how to do that (again assuming you are using windows) is at the start of the article as follows

An easier way is to simply create a homegroup if you are running Windows 7 or higher.

I'll assume OP has got loads of files to transfer... to get to network and sharing center type ncpa.cpl at Cortana/search... do right-mouse-click -> properties of the Ethernet adapter that you're using ... then select properties of Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4) and then back to the instructions previously provided.
PS. how much data are you actually tansferring?
