In Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center, open the Ethernet 2 Properties and go to the 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' Properties. Change the network address to the one currently being used to start connecting with the Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2016). You can also perform other configurations for the shared folder by selecting Advanced Sharing from the folder Properties -> Sharing tab. Once shared, you will see the link for the shared folder which you will need to connect to the folder from another computer. You can also add users with whom you want to share the files.

To enable sharing the Downloads folder, go to the Sharing tab and click Share to start the sharing process. If you don't want to keep on seeing the 'New Thunderbolt devices have been attached' pop up, select 'Always Connect'.Īssuming the MSI GS73VR Stealth Pro had the Thunderbolt 'Ethernet 2' network set up previously (see how to set it up here), we went to Properties of the Downloads folder containing a 7.3MB file that we wanted to transfer to the Mac. When connecting the Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2016) to the MSI GS73VR Stealth Pro directly using a Thunderbolt 3 cable, we accepted adding the new Thunderbolt device in the pop up. To demonstrate this, we performed a file transfer between a Mac like the Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2016) and the Windows 10 based MSI GS73VR Stealth Pro, both supporting Thunderbolt 3. The Thunderbolt 3 technology provides a solution to connect two Thunderbolt 3 based PC's using 10Gb (Full Duplex) Ethernet networking.
