The availability and variety of technology is often perceived as a blessing. Exactly until there is an urgent need to combine these devices into one common network. And there are many ways to do this. But will it be possible to connect, for example, two laptops with an hdmi cable? Let's try to figure it out.
Will it work or not?
The short answer is yes, it will. Since the negotiated devices have an hdmi port, then, of course, you can connect these ports with a two-way cable. Another thing is that there will be no sense from this at all.
The laptop port is designed in such a way that it can only work on recoil. Accordingly, it cannot receive a signal simply by technical parameters. However, fortunately for users, there are other ways to combine laptops.
Alternative options
Alternative options include both wired and wireless communications. Since the second type is more technologically advanced, we will first get acquainted with the wireless method of transmitting information.
The easiest way to connect laptops to a local network for file transfer is Bluetooth. It is difficult to find a laptop that does not have this module. Nevertheless, if someone is not fortunate enough to be the owner of a similar model, you should not be very upset. An external Bluetooth module can easily solve this problem. Its price is not high, and in the event of a breakdown, replacing it is much easier and cheaper than disassembling a laptop and removing the failed unit from there.
So, to connect two laptops with Bluetooth wireless system, just a few steps are enough. To begin with, we start the search for the device on one laptop, and on the second it opens access so that the first module can detect it. After detection, we connect by entering the password. The code combination can be any, it is invented by the user himself. The main thing is to enter the same code on two devices. And that's all. Laptops are combined.
The second way is to join into a common Wi-fi network. There shouldn't be big problems here either. Open the settings window, select the creation of a new network (home or work - depending on what purpose the network is used for), create a computer-to-computer network, protect it with a strong password and encryption method, and then click the "Finish" button.
The third method is LAN cable bundling. This method is less convenient, since you have to link the two devices with each other using outdated technology, but this does not make it less efficient. First, we connect the laptops with a cable, then call the command window with the "WIN + R" key combination (or there is the "Run" tab in the "Start" menu) and enter the value "ncpa.cp", after which we call the context menu in the window that opens and select "LAN connection". Find the "Properties" tab, and in the window that opens, double-click on "Internet Protocol version 4", and enter the IP values and mask. On the second laptop, the whole procedure is repeated, with the exception of one moment. The last digit in the IP address will not be 1, but 2, since the second device is connected. All other numbers will match.
