Hello, ive searched this online multiple times but I get lost each time. I am computer savvy but not networking savvy if that makes sense. So I have (1) Desktop computer and (1) laptop a home. the desktop is wired via ethernet and my laptop is on wifi. I have xfinity home internet 50mbps with an average router. I need to network my computers to do Distributed Rendering in 3DS max if anyone is familiar. So i know that I must setup TCP/IP connection but i need help. Can I just plug in an ehternet from desktop to laptop? Thanks in advance

Then you have successfully set up an IP network. TCP is just a protocol over IP so you are done.
Now setting up the rendering is a whole 'nother ball game. For that you get to the forums that deal with that.
