I would like some help with setting up a home server. I tried to set one up using youtube but I cannot figure it out. I am running win10 on both computers. I was able to run the server on one computer, and that computer to connect in. However no matter what I do with the other computer cannot see the server. I have no way to access my router because it is factory direct. Is there anyway without getting into the router I could connect the two computers for home use only.
That does not sound like a routing issue. Double check the firewall and UAC permissions on the server.
Once you have those permissions configured properly, it will just be the 2nd computer navigating to the LAN IP address of the server with the correct port.
Hello everybody.

Thank you for your time.

ex: 192.168.1.100:12345
replace IP:Port to match your local server.
