LAN Connection:
The connection of two PCs using LAN means linking two computers directly with an Ethernet
(LAN) cable so they can communicate, share files, printers, and data without the need for the
internet or a router.

It creates a local network between the two PCs.

Both PCs get IP addresses in the same range (e.g., 192.168.1.x).

Once connected, you can transfer files faster than using USB or external drives.
