If you have any problems then you can watch the video given below or comment below this post
Note: If you share your data via WiFi the data transfer will be 1-2MB and if you share the data via Lan cable the data transfer will be 10-12MB

how get password of other wifi
How to connect lan through wifi
My both pc have win 7
Some say you need a special type of utp cable with tx and rx wires crossed over – crossover cable. Most devices today have crossover sensing and will work with both types of cable. But not sure what happens when both devices try sense each other out! 😀
No special cable req same cable u uses to connect modem and pc
Dose it works for desktop? ????
Yes right need crossover cable otherwise will not work, better use bluetooth if available and for file transfer only
I’d curious if I can copy via an external drive more faster than with the network… I had a job last week … to pass 80 gig by direct linked gigabyte ports and… it took hours ..
If you are on a wifi network all you have to do is share the folder or file with Everyone, then any other device can find and copy to the files. And don’t forget once you have shared this file to remove Everyone from Properties or this file WILL be open for anyone!!
There is no need to do things this way anymore!! No cables and/or DON’T change WiFi Settings.

it should be a cross over cable dude
@ADARSH
Cross over cable no more needed between 2 win 7 computers
I think it is extremely important here to ensure you inform tbe users of the possible risks involved with having an open share like that on any computer.
When they connect back to their everyday network they will still have an accessable open share to anyone else on the network.
Good call
Guess you forget to specific more about crossover LAN cable…
Exactly, i also apologize. (Y)
Or you can just add the computer to your network thru “Network and Sharing”and not go thru all these steps.
You can then remove the other computer from the network when done.
No crossover needed unless you have really old equip. Almost all nics and switches auto crossover. You will also need a user account that is password protected on the computer you are connecting to, for the client to authenticate with. There are additional steps you can perform to disable the need for user / password but it’s not recommended
by typing the \ the ip address is not showing
Is any other option to access the pc1 into pc2
Maybe Windows 7 has a switching ability similar to the one Android does with micro USB ports on phones and tablets (Charge/Device input/USB Stick Reading etc)
Wouldn’t you need a crossover cable, not a standard lan cable?
maybe back in the 90’s..
You must be using a CROSSOVER cable for this to work, you need to spell it out.
yes I was looking for this bits of details
Exactly, good point.
this site is such a big help 🙂 thank you! more power
