2 PCs. 2 connections. Can't figure it out.
Odd one this.
I have my main PC... and a PC under the TV acting as a HTPC.
The 2 are directly connected by a network cable. In addition both have a Wifi dongle and both get internet via WiFi
I wish to transfer files from the PC to the HTPC via the wire as it is much faster than Wifi (20secs vs 20mins for a 4Gb file)
The HTPC is Windows 8.
Previously the PC was Windows 7.
I just created a network bridge on the W7 PC between the wired network and the wifi network. Click = done. Worked fine. The PCs used the wifi for the internet and the wire when transferring files.
Now I've upgraded the PC to W10 (the HTPC is unchanged and still W8)
I've tried the same bridge but it has no effect. When I transfer a file it uses the slow Wifi. Unless I disable the Wifi completely then it will use the wire.
Any ideas? Have I missed something?
I'm certain it just worked on W7.
