I've never networked 2 computers.
There appear to be basically two scenarios:
(1) It Just Works (TM) completely by magic with total amount of effort being zero
(2) You faff around for hours, days, weeks, and never quite get it to behave in a sensible fashion
Sometimes you have to set up and configure some stuff, following simple instructions, after which it all works as expected, but this is not a common scenario! Suggest buying a Windows server and some Windows clients
of the right matching operating system to achieve this. But working by magic, for reasons you don't understand, or not working at all, for reasons you don't understand, are both rather more common.
