  Connecting Printer to Computer Through Ethernet . Once you've connected the computers, you'll share files between them by using both computers' file-sharing settings.

  
  

  

  
  

  Ethernet ports take part biggest, rectangular ports which usually have a three-box icon next to them. You'll usually find Ethernet ports on one side of your computer's housing (laptop) or on the rear of the tower (desktop).
  On i Mac computers, the Ethernet port is found on the rear of the monitor.
  Buy an Ethernet adapter if necessary. If your computer doesn't have an Ethernet port, you will need to shop for a USB Ethernet adapter for your computer. you'll find these online (e.g., Amazon) and in tech stores (e.g., Best Buy).
  If you've got a Mac, check your USB ports also. you would possibly have only USB-C ports (e.g., oval ports rather than rectangular ports) meaning that you're going to either need an Ethernet to USB-C adapter or a USB to USB-C adapter also.
  Check to ascertain if you've got a crossover coaxial cable. While most Ethernet ports support both conventional Ethernet cables and crossover Ethernet cables, you'll avoid potential errors by employing a crossover coaxial cable . to work out whether or not you've got a crossover cable, view the colored wires at the top of every side of the cable:
  If the colors are differently ordered on one end, you've got a crossover cable.
  If the colors are an equivalent for both ends from left to right, you've got a standard cable. you'll still use this cable for many computers, but if you're connecting older computers to every other, consider buying a crossover cable if you run into issues.
  Plug one end of the coaxial cable into one computer. The Ethernet cable's head should fit into the Ethernet port on your computer with the lever side face down.
  If you've got to use an Ethernet adapter, plug the USB end of the adapter into one among your computer's free USB ports.
