Is it possible to I could imagine that you could do it using a LAN cable from the computer to the RPi or maybe using a USB cable. I do actually have access to a network, however it doesn't allow incoming connections (even from local IP's) to any ports except 80 and 443 I would imagine. |

If you're using Mac or Ubuntu/Debian there's an excellent explanation of doing exactly this called Raspberry Pi-ing, MacGyver Style. |

You can easily do it by connecting your pi to laptop via LAN cable. Please make sure that (at list while you are doing it first time) you have dhcp server working on your laptop and listening on LAN interface you are using to connect with pi. You need somehow assign address to raspberry. |

The problem is that you want to connect 2 devices of the same type. But it's still possible. You can use a Crossover cable for this (Method 1), or you could use a switch or hub to automatic make a crossover connection (Method 2). Or just use a simple router (Method 3). Make a connection possible Method1: Use a Crossover cable and connect your PC and PI: An Ethernet crossover cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices together directly. Normal straight through or patch cables were used to connect from a host network interface controller (a computer or similar device) to a network switch, hub or router. A cable with connections that "cross over" was used to connect two devices of the same type: two hosts or two switches to each other. Owing to the inclusion of Auto-MDIX capability. You need to connect the cables in the UTP cable like this: http://www.numitechsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ethcablerj45cr.gif Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable Method2: You also can use a modern twisted pair Ethernet cable to connect to your PI. But you need a hub or switch for this: connections can be made with a straight-through cable by means of an MDI-X port, also known as an "internal crossover" or "embedded crossover" connection. Hub and switch ports with such internal crossovers are usually labelled as such, with "uplink" or "X". For example, 3Com usually labels their ports 1X, 2X, and so on. In some cases a button is provided to allow a port to act as either a normal or an uplink port. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair More information: Introduced in 1998, this made the distinction between uplink and normal ports and manual selector switches on older hubs and switches obsolete. If one or both of two connected devices has the automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration feature there is no need for crossover cables. Although Auto-MDIX was specified as an optional feature in the 1000BASE-T standard, in practice it is implemented widely on most interfaces. Besides the eventually agreed upon Automatic MDI/MDI-X, this feature may also be referred to by various vendor-specific terms including: Auto uplink and trade, Universal Cable Recognition and Auto Sensing.

Make the connection Give them both an IP in the same range, for example: You can find here how to do this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-configure-a-static-ip-address-tutorial/ Enable SSH http://steve.dynedge.co.uk/2012/05/29/enabling-ssh-on-debian-raspberry-pi/ Connect to the PI On Windows use for example Putty.
