Can I access DWC with only the ethernet port to laptop?

[CGraeme]

Hi there, I am using the duet 2 ethernet board as part of a 3D printing project on my Ender 3, I am not allowed to access the schools wifi or add new devices so the classic way of connecting to DWC through a router is not availible to me. I was wondeing if it is possible to connect to DWC with a direct ethernet connection to my laptop or if theres any other way I could connect, as I am a mechanical engineering student this is all very new to me.

@cgraeme Yes, you set up the ethernet port of the Duet and laptop as their own network. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Networking#wired-direct-connection
