Excuse the stupid question, I'm a noob when it comes to networking. Can I connect 2 computers by an Ethernet cable and have a connection between them over which I can send files? To clarify there's nothing in between them, just 2 PCs and an Ethernet cable. Thanks in advance!

Opt for a crossover Ethernet connection and tools such as D-LAN

For standard network cables, a switch or router is required. To use just one cable, a dedicated crossover cable is necessary.

No need for a crossover cable, all gigabit NICs connect seamlessly, which has been the norm for over a decade. Just set up IP addresses manually on each side.

Over the past two decades, every network adapter supports Auto MDI-X, enabling direct communication via a simple cable. Just configure the IP addresses yourself.

Thanks for the note. I usually relied on switches during LAN gatherings... There were always a switch and a router at home, so I didn’t have to worry about doing it otherwise.

You're currently using a CAT6e connection for your desktop to connect to your main UnRAID server at 10Gbps. The rest of your network operates at 1Gbps, and you've opted for the direct 10Gbps link because higher-speed copper switches are too costly.

As mentioned, it doesn't matter whether your cable is direct or crossed; both should function. The main task might be setting up static IP addresses manually since Windows hasn't fully implemented a proper DHCP server yet. If you're unsure how to do that, just let me know. (Reminder: mention your operating system and its version when asking.)

Oh no, I'm sorry for giving you wrong info. Thanks for pointing it out. Honestly, I wasn't aware of that. Appreciate the correction. By the way, D-LAN is still a solid option, hehe.
