Connection across the bridge
Connection across the bridge
You have the option to create a PowerShell script or develop an application; I don’t have any ideas about either.
You're asking about the complexity of connecting two PCs directly via Ethernet. It seems you're wondering why it's not straightforward and whether using a basic switch could simplify things. The issue might be related to stability—static IPs prevent loss on reboot, but a simple managed switch might offer easier setup.
The bridge needs to be restored, likely because something was set incorrectly. Once connected, it should receive the IP address rather than the physical NICs. This works well if the bridge PC stays powered during the process, which is especially useful when you lack an outlet for a switch.
