There are situations when you need a laptop to connect to a computer (for example, when transferring a large amount of data). This is done in several ways.
1
You can connect two devices using a cord by creating a local network. This will require a fascinated network cable. It can be purchased or done independently by crimping the conventional cable using connectors. Network ports on a laptop and computer are connected and configured manually Local Network.

After connecting the devices, you need to enter the network connection on the computer. Next, the "control panel" is selected and you need to go to the "Network and Internet" section, after that - in the "Network and Common Access Control Center". The next step is "Changing the Adapter Settings". Here you need to select a network connection and right-click Open "Properties". In the window that appears, the Internet Protocol version 4 is selected. Next, the "Properties" button is pressed, which is at the bottom right. A window opens in which you want to enter the IP address. For a computer, it is next - 192.168.1.1. Also introduced the subnet mask - 255.255.255.0. All other fields remain empty, the "OK" button is pressed.

The same actions must be done on the laptop, only one digit changes in the "IP address" line - 192.168.1.2, and the subnet mask remains the same. After that, you can check the operability of the local network using the Ping command. To do this, the command line is launched ("Start" - "All Programs" - "Standard" - "Command Line") and the "Ping" command is entered, as well as the IP address of the laptop. If everything was done correctly and the network works, response messages should appear on the laptop.

You can connect a laptop with a computer using Wi-Fi. For this, the router is connected to the computer. Must be created passwords for accounts on both devices. Also indicate disks and folders to which access. To do this, you need to right-click on the desired folder and set "access" in the properties. Next - "Extended Setup" and put a box next to "open sharing to this folder".

The last step is to connect a laptop to a computer. On the control panel in the "Network and Internet" menu, you need to go to the "Network and Common Access Center". Selects "View network computers and devices" item. In the window that opens, the computer account must appear to which you need to connect. If you click on it - a window will appear for entering a password (one that was originally created for an account on a computer). A password is entered, a laptop is connected to a computer.
These are the most common ways to connect two devices. You can also connect a laptop with a computer using an infrared port or Bluetooth, but not all devices support these functions. In addition, the transfer of a large amount of data will last a few hours. Therefore, the most common connectivity methods are using Wi-Fi or a conventional centered network cable.
