How to set up your computer running Windows for direct Ethernet communication.
The following steps walk through how to change your network settings on Windows:
- From the Start Menu, select Control Panel.
- Select Network Connections.
- Right-click on Local Area Network and select Properties.
- Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
- Click on the Alternate Configuration tab and enter your network settings

In the event that you don't need to preserve a wireless connection, the above settings will be fine - the IP address can be any that looks like 192.168.0.xxx. The value 235 in the above example is arbitrary, but make sure that you use a number that's not assigned to any other devices on your network.
If you need to preserve your wireless internet connection, choose another subnet that's not in use on your local network - 192.168.5.xxx is a reasonable bet, although again the 5 is arbitrary. You'll also need to change the Default gateway setting to 192.168.5.1, or the equivalent for the subnet you've chosen. It may be necessary to disable and re-enable the network connection in order for the changes to take effect.
