    Direct PC to PC communication

    My Chromebook was clearly not prioritising the USB Ethernet Adaptor. I had to disable Wi-Fi before plugging in the Ethernet adaptor to resolve the issue. It maybe the way HP have configured this Chromebook, and it might be different for other Chromebooks.

    Disabling the Wi-Fi before connecting the Chromebook via Ethernet does seem to resolve all the issues I was having. Thanks all.

    Direct PC to PC communication

    I understand this. What I don't understand is why the speed between the PC and Chromebook is reduced to the limited speed of the Wi-Fi connection, when there is a direct Ethernet route between the two devices (through a switch, but not through the access point).
