</head>
<body>

  1. Change the internet adapters for both machines to internal network and set the same network name for both. Allow all in the promiscuous mode settings.
  2. On the server run this command to set the ip address
bash
sudo ip a add 172.222.XXX.YYY/24 dev enp0s3
  1. Connect to the server from the client using the server's IP address in a web browser
http://172.222.XXX.YYY
  1. You should see the index.html page you created earlier. To view the PHP info page, navigate to
http://172.222.XXX.YYY/info.php
  1. To set the ip address for a windows 10 client, open PowerShell or CMD as administrator and run the following command
powershell
netsh interface ip set address name="Ethernet" static 172.222.XXX.1YY 255.255.255.0
