"Auto-sensing" LAN port is the term I've usually seen used for it. I could not recall it until you posted the info.

Maybe I just buy better PCs than most people. Unless the need specifies something different (like a Surface or iPad), I usually prefer Dell.

I have noticed some of my recent Micro PC purchases (over a dozen so far) do not all have Serial ports. They all do have the stamp in the case for them, though. Also, some have WiFi and some don't.

.. but not all. It's important to be aware of the issue as you suggested.

On what do you base your statement of: "Most PCs will auto-configure
so the crossover is not needed", I've never seen any literature to
support.

Most PCs will auto-configure so the crossover is not needed.

But if the correct IP is not used, it will not matter if they are
connected by a wet noodle.

I think you need a crossover ethernet cable for communication to take
place. Or use a hub. A straight ethernet cable means talk is connected
to talk and listen is connected to listen. You need talk-listen and
listen-talk.

Yes, it does. Connect to the IP of the RPi.

It will likely be a 192.168.x.x address. Port 5555.

You will enter that in the format 192.168.x.x:5555

Spyserver is running on a Raspberry Pi.

SDR# is running on a Windows laptop.

They are connected by a short ethernet cable.

Does that change how things should be set?
