Windows 10: Connecting two pc's using ethernet cable, while one is wireless

Hi everyone at TenForums

This is Thomas from Copenhagen

At my new workshop (photographer), I'm connected to my friendly office-nabours guest wifi network using an ASUS PCE-AC68 adapter.

However in my work setup, I have until now been connecting my main pc, a Dell Aurora R4 (Win10 /64bit), to an older pc (Win 7/32Bit) who operates an older photo-scanner, by cables and router. But now only the main pc is connected to the internet by the wireless adapter, and there is no longer connection between the two pc's.

A friend configured this setup installing the "New TightVNC Connection" software, enabling me to operate the second pc from the main one.

So my question is:

Can the two computers be connected directly with an ethernet cable, also enabling the TightVNC software to function, regardless of the main pc being wirelessly connected to the internet?

Thanks in advance for any help to set up this configuration.

Regards.

How to use both wired and wireless connection in one computer.

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

You can use but you should bridge the connections and ideally it should work.

1) What is the make and model of the router?

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• On the Windows 10, click on the Windows icon. Type view network connections and press Enter.
• Identify your Ethernet connection and your wireless connection. The Ethernet connection is called Local Area Connection and the wireless connection is called Wireless Network Connection.
• Click on Local Area Connection to select it.
• Press and hold the Ctrl key and click on Wireless Network Connection to select it. Now you should have both connections selected.
• Right click on the selection and select Bridge Connections.

Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.
