Get the IP address of Computer 1

Get the IP address of computer 2

on computer 1, at th command prompt type:

ROUTE ADD (ip of computer 2) MASK 255.255.255.255 (ip of computer 1) METRIC 1

on computer 2, on the command prompt type:

ROUTE ADD (ip of computer 1) MASK 255.255.255.255 (ip of computer 2) METRIC 1



For example, let's say computer 1's IP is 192.168.0.100 and computer 2's IP is 192.16.0.200

on computer 1, on the command prompt type

ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.200 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.100 METRIC 1

on computer 2, on the command prompt type

ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.100 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.200 METRIC 1


What we're doing here is telling both computers to NOT go out the router to talk to each other, rather, attempt to communicate directly using their own network cards as the gateway.

It certainly won't hurt anything, give it a try.
