Hello all.
I am trying to share ethernet connection from my gaming PC to my laptop which I want to use for streaming. As I don't have capture card installed in gaming PC I want to share ethernet connection with my laptop so I can setup RTMP server on gaming PC which will be play video from streaming software and be captured on streaming laptop but I can't get it working.

As I have only 1 port from ethernet cable coming from router and my PC and laptop have also 1 port for ethernet cable I am using 5 port desktop switch to connect them both on same network.


Is there any special software or procedure to do this or I just can't do it due to 1 port? I am realy looking for your asnwers and I need your help please answer fast

Hi,

If you plug your mini switch directly into your router, and plug both your PC and laptop into the same switch, they will both be able to connect to your home network.
