People thinks that it is very easy to establish peer-to-peer connection. But things can be very much complicated. The setup of point-to-point network is shown in the Figure below:
Fig: Configuration of master PC which would act as a gateway for second PC connected to it.
Fig: configuration of second PC having master PC as gateway.
Now, In this scenario since both PC can communicate with each other but to access internet from second PC master PC acts as a gateway for the second PC.
People might think that it is very easy but sometimes it becomes complicated.
For example, When People try to esatblish connection between two PC's with different configurations they find it difficult to establish connection. They even changes the network cable thinking that cable is not good. Even they think that since both the PC's are of different configurations that's why connection is not establishing. They even go for external LAN card. But none of them thinks about the speed. The speed of network adapter. Now, modern days PC's support speed up to 1Gbps. By default, the speed of network adapter is in autonegotiate mode i.e; it will adjust speed automatically as per the envoronment (switch supporting speed up to 1Gbps). In point-to-point network to establish connectivity both the system must have same speed. For example: If one system is supporting the speed 10 Mbps/100 Mbps/1Gbps & other system is supporting the spped of 10/100 Mbps then set the system having maximum speed of 1Gbps to 100Mbps & Try to establish connection. You will find that connection is established
Note: In pont-to-pont network to establish connection speed must be same doesn't matter what the configuration is.
