Connecting two computers to the Internet
So I bought an Ethernet Cable Switch thinking that this would be a simple way to connect two computers to the internet, one Linux and Windows 10. Nope, not simple. Here is what I bought,,,,,,https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-Rot ... 90&sr=8-21
It doesn't do what I thought it would do. So has any body else tried this?
The trouble is Windows 10, something about IP Address of my modem. The modem is an Arris Surf Board. Poking around the internet I ran across an article about using the Command Prompt, using the command ( ipconfig ). I am familiar with a command line in Linux and so have no fear of using command prompt, but want to do it correctly, which is one of the reasons I am using this forum.
Open to suggestions.
