Here we will talk about how to connect 2 computers through a network cable - a simple and stable way to create local area networks.

The advantages of such a network include the reliability, accessibility and simplicity of design: repair and configuration of a computer-computer network are done by improvised means.

Moreover, the only drawback of the system is its low mobility: a network cable reliably "connects" the computer and you will no longer be able to walk around the house with a laptop connected to the network.
