I've got two systems that are right next to each other, and connected wirelessly to the same router. I want to connect the two of them together with an ethernet cable - both have gig-e and autonegotiation so it should work. I DON'T need the second system to have internet, but I need any specific tweaks to be on that system only.
I do not need to share internet. I need RDP to work, and thats it
The wireless runs on a 192.168.1.x subnet and ICS always runs on a 192.168.0.x subnet so that wouldn't be a problem.
Ideally I want this layout. Can I do this with ICS, or there some other free or open source way?
