SOLUTION:

There are several ways to achieve this, but the two easiest solutions would be:

1. Connect both machines via a cross-over cable.
2. Connect both machines to a switch or hub

Cross-over cable

Ethernet Crossover Cables Explained
Ethernet crossover cables are most often used in home networks when connecting two ethernet computers without a hub. An Ethernet crossover cable has it's send and receive wires crossed. When using a hub or switch, this is automatically done for you.

Unfortunately some devices like cable and dsl modems have their actual ethernet plugs reversed. This is to allow people to hook up a cable modem to a computer without a special crossover cable. When adding a hub into the mix, the issue can get confusing.

Most modern hubs and switches have what is called an uplink port on them. This is the same kind of 'reversed' port that is on a cable or dsl modem.

This may sound like a confusing issue, but here are some network diagrams that will show when to use a normal ethernet cable and when to use a crossover cable.

GREEN cables represent standard ethernet cables

BLUE cables represent CROSSOVER cables

No Crossover cable needed	Crossover cable IS needed

Note: One port on your hub will usually be 'shared' with the uplink port. Either the uplink port OR the standard port can be used, no both.

SOLUTION 2 : Folder Options not available in Tools Menu and Registry Editor Disabled

Guys!

Many ppl find that in their windows Tools -> Folder Options is not visible, they also can't access it from the Control Panel. I hv seen so many ppl facing this problem, so I decided to post this tutorial, in this tutorial I'll tell the reasons which can cause this problem and their solutions:

1.) You can enable Folder Options by simply editing the Windows Registry! Just type regedit in RUN dialog box and it'll open Registry Editor, now goto following keys:

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

And in right-side pane, check whether a DWORD value named NoFolderOptions exists or not? If it exists then either change its value to 0 or delete it.
