Hi, I see you're trying to connect your Minecraft server directly using Ethernet. You could potentially link both computers together via a hub or switch, but since your router is out of reach and you’re in multiple rooms, you’ll need a more reliable setup. Consider using a dedicated network cable from the router to a local switch, then connect one end to each computer. This avoids interference and ensures a stable connection. If you have access to a wired connection through a nearby device (like a phone or another PC), that might work too.

Configure static IP settings on every device. When both Windows are active, they will both get 169.254.0.0/16 ranges automatically, though I'm assuming a fixed server address is intended.

Sure, I can help with that. Setting up a static IP address typically involves configuring your router or modem settings to maintain a consistent IP address. Would you like step-by-step instructions for a specific device or platform?

Navigate to the networking and sharing center, select Ethernet and properties, then choose IPV4. Enter the following IP addresses: for PC N°1 use 192.168.0.10 as gateway and set the mask to 255.255.255.0; for PC N°2 use 192.168.0.20 with the same gateway and mask configuration.

Press Windows keys, type "Network Connections", press Enter. Right-click the Ethernet adapter you wish to set up. Click Properties. Double-click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", a dialog will appear. Modify "Obtain an IP..." to "Use the following..." Choose your settings, for example, if it's a private P2P network: Server: 10.0.0.1, Client: 10.0.0.2. Click OK and OK again. Open Command Prompt and run: ipconfig. Your adapter should appear with the details provided. Verify connectivity by sending pings: ping 10.0.0.1 and ping 10.0.0.2. If replies return, everything is working.

When you open the networking and sharing center, it only shows the standard settings page. This might be due to your system being on Windows 10 or a newer version. The issue with finding network connections via the Start menu could depend on your specific setup.

Both systems are getting data at the same time. Do you remember how to connect a port to the updated IP address?

Determine whether to use a physical Ethernet port or a virtual port number.

Virtual IP addresses, that's what I meant. I was aiming to connect my Minecraft server to a different device for a more reliable link.
