A Simple Guide to Connect Computers Using Ethernet Cable

 Connectivity and data transfer have been two of the essential applications of computers since their inception. Technology has advanced rapidly for the same goal, and one of the options available is to employ high-quality ethernet cables. If you're not sure how to connect computers using ethernet cables in bulk, don't worry; we're here to help.

Before we go any further, let us point out that one of the most significant advantages of using an ethernet cable to transport data is security. When Wi-Fi isn't available, an ethernet cable comes in handy as well.

Look out for ethernet ports.

To begin, you'll need to determine whether your gadgets (in this case, computers) have Ethernet ports. If you're using a desktop, ethernet connections can be found on the underside of the CPU tower; if you're using a laptop, they're on either side of the casing.

The ethernet port on an iMac computer is located on the underside of the monitor.

Don't have an Ethernet Adapter? Buy it

You may need to purchase an ethernet adapter if you don't already have one. When your computer lacks an Ethernet port, this is the case. There are several adapters on the market; choose one that best meets your needs.

In the case of Mac users, they should check their USB ports as well. This requirement occurs because Mac users may only have USB-C ports, necessitating a USB to USB-C adapter or an Ethernet to USB-C adapter.

Pick one: Crossover Ethernet Cable or Straight Cable.

These days, almost all Ethernet ports accept both crossover and straight Ethernet connections. So don't worry if you're a newbie and can't distinguish between a crossover and a straight ethernet wire. We're here to help!

The game is simple. Look at the coloured wires on each side of your high-quality ethernet cable.

Colours are organized differently on both ends of a crossover ethernet cable mass.

However, the colour scheme for both ends of a straight ethernet cable bulk is the same.

It is preferable to purchase crossover ethernet cables if you have an older PC model. It will keep you from having to deal with situations that aren't necessary.

Plugging the Ethernet cable

The most crucial step is to connect the high-quality ethernet cable to the computer. One end of your cable is plugged into the computer in such a way that the cable's head fits into your device's ethernet port with the lever side facing down.

If your system doesn't have an ethernet adapter, you'll need to plug the adapter's USB end into one of your system's USB ports.

After establishing connectivity, you'll continue to the second phase, which involves adjusting the computers' settings.

Click the "Network and Internet" icon in the control panel. If you see "little icons" or "large icons" on your screen, ignore them. Instead, go to the "View" tab, which is located in the upper-right area of the window.

Now select "Network and Sharing Center" from the drop-down menu. This link can be seen at the top of your screen. The "Advanced Sharing Settings" link is found in the upper-left corner of your screen.

All you have to do now is check the box labelled "Enable file and printer sharing." The "File and printer sharing" part of the menu contains this tab.

Turn on file and printer sharing by checking the "Turn on file and printer sharing" box. The box can be found in the "File and printer sharing" section.

After that, click the "Save changes" tab, and you're ready to share your files between the platforms.
