Ad-Hoc Ethernet

Set up an ad-hoc connection between two computers over an ethernet cable

Steps

connect ethernet cable between the computers

manually set an ip for each,

for example 169.254.0.1 and 169.254.0.2

set bits after the main address to /16,

for example 169.254.0.1/16

set both computers to the same subnet,

for example 255.255.0.0;

this can be done under network properties in windows

or on linux with `sudo ifconfig INTERFACE netmask MASK`
