How to make a direct Ethernet link on a particular port between two computers
If pinging clients isn't working, we should identify the issue first—networking problems likely prevent communication. Attempting access to shares until connections are established wouldn't be effective. Have you installed any security software? Did you verify through the interface that it displays as private after configuration? Consider restarting the system and confirming the correct port is being used.
The routing table manages this automatically, determining the correct IP for each port. I’d really consider restarting both computers if you haven’t already, since Windows networking can behave oddly during configuration changes, even though the console shows expected outcomes.
