Direct connection with PC problem!!

[Angelo Sarto]

If both computers have an ethernet jack on them then run a "Cross-over"
ethernet cable between them.

A crossover cable can be purchased usually by the ethernet cables at any
kind of place that sells ethernet cables.

To each computer configure it with the following.

Computer 1:
Static IP Address: 192.168.0.1 <http://192.168.0.1>
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 <http://255.255.255.0>
Gateway: (blank)

Computer 1:
Static IP Address: 192.168.0.2 <http://192.168.0.2>
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 <http://255.255.255.0>
Gateway: (blank)

And connect them together. Then to remote control type the IP address of the
one you want to control after launching vnc viewer.


Good Luck, Angelo
