i connect directly via ethernet

 

I’m not very familiar with your app, but I can tell you that you just can’t link 2 PCs with a standard ethernet cable and hope to get a LAN. You need to use a special ethernet cable called a crossover cable, then configure internal IP addresses and a Windows workgroup at both ends.

 

Do you have the ability to wire both computers into a router/switch to share internet? That would be a simple method of establishing a LAN and not relying on a bridged connection to share internet access.

Hello... I just started streaming using OBS...I use a 2 PC method via OBS NDI...I have trouble in having the 2 PCs to connect together via LAN... sometimes it works but it will always take me around 30mins to troubleshoot... I have to reset network adapter several times..I use wifi sharing to my LAN in order to use OBS NDI..as so what i've been told on YouTube..please if any networking pros here can help me..

 

- My 2 PCs wont detect over LAN after shutdown for a long time.

- Troubleshooter will tell me that Ethernet has not valid IP config

 

Please help me..I do not know much in networking stuff...is there a way for my PC to connect with each other consistently? without resetting adapter and what not...

 

Thank you so much...

Are you connecting both PCs directly with an ethernet cable or are they independently connected to a switch/router via ethernet?
