Ad-Hoc Ethernet

Set up an ad-hoc connection between two computers over an ethernet cable

Steps

• connect ethernet cable between the computers

• manually set an ip for each,

for example 169.254.0.1 and 169.254.0.2

• set bits after the main address to /16,

for example 169.254.0.1/16

• set both computers to the same subnet,

for example 255.255.0.0;

this can be done under network properties in windows

or on linux with sudo ifconfig INTERFACE netmask MASK

• ping to check connection
