  1. Connect AppMiracast on my desktop doesn't see my laptop, but my laptop can see my desktop


    Hi i have a question.


    So i want to stretch my screen onto my laptop. But my desktop is having trouble finding my laptop under devices in Connect App. I can do it the other way around, i can stretch my laptop screen to my desktop monitor. I tried to disable my firewall and then try to search for my laptop in devices, no luck. I set my cast to this PC settings properly, desktop still couldn't find my laptop.


    This are screenshots from my desktop i'm sorry my Windows interface is in Turkish. I figured people could understand screenshots cause it's the same interface just in Turkish. I can translate screenshots if needed.:


    This is Connect app interface as i said i can't see my laptop here which is named "Oğuzhan".

    share internet connection in pc desktop &laptop

    Operating systems on each computer?

    If the desktop has two ethernet connections, you can set it up so that one has the modem (internet) and the other is connected to the laptop (cable from desktop to laptop).

    If you want wireless, you will need a router unless you have a wireless connection and ethernet connection on the desktop, in which case you can do the same above, only instead of cable from pc to laptop, its wireless connection from pc to laptop.

  3. Connect desktop to laptop wirelessly?

    I have an internet connection on both my laptop and desktop through the same router. I do not wish to screw that up. All I want to do is transfer files from the desktop to the laptop via the wireless connection. How do I do this? I have never set up any kind of network or lan before.. wired or otherwise.

    I have read a bunch of post on the net but I am unsure the best way to do this. it's confusing to me as there seems to be lots of different opinions.

    Laptop or Desktop for Music production?

    My brother's BIL is into music composition and audition etc. He is looking to buy a new system (or build one). He was asking me if a Laptop will suffice for recording his compositions with good quality audio and video. He was looking to buy a i5 or i7 based Quad core + dedicated graphics powered laptop (with 8GB ram + 500GB Hdd). I suggested to build a Desktop powered with i5/i7 + dedicated grarphics and buy a real good $100 sound card and good headset. May be go little cheaper and build a AMD Quad/Hex based desktop.

    Is a Laptop good enough or desktop is better?

    If laptop suggest me few good ones. Looking for a mid-range priced ones (about $800).
