Hi! I hope this is the right community to ask.
Next week I will be on the road for 5 Days for work. I have quite some spare time, so I thought I would dig up my raspberry project again and hopefully finish it.
I need it with me, because it controls some hardware, so a VPN to home does not work. So only option I could think of, is to connect the pi directly to my laptop via an ethernet cable. As far as I understood from some research is that I would need to install and run an DHCP server on my laptop, which they did not recommend. Alternatively they suggested to just take a router and plug both devices in there. I don’t really have a spare router, so that’s not an option either.
To be hones it confuses me a little, that there does not seem to be a standard for connecting to a device directly over a single cable and login with a user account.
Any recommendations how I can work on the pi like with ssh?
Thanks a lot!
Or simply set up the Pi with a static IP.
There is. A cable. You just need two non-identical IPs from the same subnet, e.g. 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 or whichever you want from the private ranges.
I remember from back in the day that you need a
"twisted pair”edit: ”cross-over” cable though, or do modern ethernet ports automatically adapt to that now?You’re thinking of crossover cables, though I’m not sure if those are still necessary.
Twisted pair refers to the twisting of the wires in the cable to reduce crosstalk.
Crossover cables enable permit connecting two non-sensing ports together.
Right 🤦♂️ It has been a while. I corrected it in the original post now.
I hear ya. I know all this stuff, but dammit if it isn’t hard to access sometimes! Haha
