I have two laptops, both are connected on a wireless network and the wireless network provides Internet.
The two laptops are also connected with a CAT5 LAN Cable and the connection between them functions:
- I set both laptops up with the IPs 192.168.0.101 and the other one with 192.168.0.100.
- Netmasks are fine.
- I did a ping test, they ping each other.
BtSync only syncs over the slower wireless connection (52Mbps), rather than the faster (1Gbps) LAN connection. If I disconnect the one PC from wireless, syncing stops.
I added known hosts, 192.168.0.100:256 and 192.168.0.101:256, for extra effect, I added both entries to both laptops in case.
I don't think it's using the Internet to sync, as I'm getting faster speeds on the wireless than Internet would provide.
How do I make it transfer via the LAN cable instead?
