I think you need to bridge the LAN adapters on the host before you share with the sharing tab on the wifi adapter (see answer #1 on the link above). The second answer mentions they had to set a static IP address on the bridge connection to make it work. I don't have a comparable PC setup to test. Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer. | |
| Feb 24, 2021 at 3:52 | comment | added | BobTW | My nic supports gigabit and the link doesn't solve my problem as I just need to share my wireless to a single lan. The normal sharing tab works but the internet doesn't flow to ethernet cable. Do I have to edit something in my nic driver manually to make it work like a crossover ? | |
| Feb 23, 2021 at 0:58 | comment | added | Blaelph | After doing a little more research, it appears my understanding connecting 2 PCs directly together may be a bit outdated. You might be able to use a straight-through ethernet cable if your NICs are new enough (gigabit). Did you check out the link @music2myear shared? You might need to set a static IP for the wired adapter in the host PC. | |
| Feb 22, 2021 at 8:51 | comment | added | BobTW | superuser.com/questions/244583/… 'How to tell a Ethernet cable is conventional or crossover. In the 4th comment, is the user talking about ethernet card as in mobo's nic or modem's ? if it's the former, how can I make my motherboard recognize the cable as crossover ? . It's my first time knowing that not all ethernet cable is the same. | |
