Ethernet is a technology for wired data networks that connects software and/or hardware. It is commonly done through LAN cables, which is why Ethernet is often referred to as LAN technology. Ethernet enables data exchange between devices such as computers, printers, servers, and so on.
With Ethernet, multiple workstations can be connected via a single cable, while only one station at a time has the ability to transmit. Each station is autonomous, and there is no organization acting as an arbiter.
To force a network:
- Right-click on the Network Connections folder.
- Select "Properties" and then "Internet Protocol Version 4."
- Click on Properties and then Advanced.
- Choose "Automatic Metric."
