Hi,
I recently purchased a laptop with windows 8 pre installed. I bought a crossover cable to connect it with my other linux laptop.
Linux: 10.10.0.1, 255.255.255.0
I configured Win8 from
start > control panel > network and internet > view network status and tasks >
unidentified network > ethernet > properties > internet protocol version 4:
ip: 10.10.0.10
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.10.0.10
These are the only steps that I need to do as far as I remember, back from the winxp days.
I turned off (norton) firewall and wifi for good measure.
I'm sad to report that this doesn't work. I feel that I'm missing something but I don't know what. Google search doesn't yield much.
to prove that the linux laptop and the cable isn't the problem, I booted up a linux liveusb on the win8 laptop's hardware, and configured peer to peer there. it works.
Anything I'm missing?
TIA
