Connect through Ethernet

Ethernet connection

In order to use Ethernet connection between the PC and the Driver we need to set the Network Card in the same subnet than the Driver. Remember that the Driver comes by default with IP 192.168.2.22.  Please find a step by step guide on how to configure the Network Card here: Configuring adaptor for Ethernet connection
