 + 
 +1. Open Capture Slave on the Slave PC.
 + 
 + 
 +[[Image:diy_software_dual_1.jpg]]
 + 
 + 
 +2. First, we need to do a network setting at the Slave PC.
 + 
 + 
 +For Vista ‐‐ '''Start / Control Panel / Network and Sharing Center'''
 + 
 + 
 +3. Select Manage network connections
 + 
 + 
 +[[Image:diy_software_dual_3.jpg]]
 + 
 + 
 +4. Right click at the Local Area Connection and select Properties
 + 
 +

 + 
 + 
 +[[Image:diy_software_dual_6.jpg]]
 + 
 + 
 +7. At this point, the setting at the Slave PC is done. You can proceed to do a set upon the Master PC.
 + 
 + 
 +8. You can now use the peripherals from the slave PC to use with the Master PC.
 +You may need 2 computers. But only 1 set of monitor, keyboard and mouse is enough.
 + 
 + 
 +9. It’s time to configure network settings on the Master PC. The procedure is similar to what you just did on the Slave PC. But this time, instead of setting the IP value as 192.168.1.2 as you did in the Slave PC, on Master PC, it has to be 192.168.1.1
 + 
 + 
 +10. Now on the Master PC, let’s check if the Master PC can communicate with the
 +Slave PC properly.
 + 
 + 
 +11. Click '''Start''', type '''cmd''' and Enter
 + 
 + 
 +[[Image:diy_software_dual_11.jpg]]
 + 
 + 
 +12. Type ping 192.168.1.2
