Hey dudes,

Recently i came across a problem.
I need to connect two PCS via USB ports.

How can i do that.??

Please note that i need to connect using USB and not crossover cables.

Will a USb-USB cable will suffice.

Take CARE !!! It is NOT recommended to use a normal USB cable to connect 2 computers - read this page for more info...

U need a bridge/hub type of usb cable to do so... not those normal ones, they wont work...

GR8 but connecting 2 comps on LAN would be much cheaper and easier....

....... and a much better option IMHO. All you need is 2 el-cheapo LAN cards and a crossed LAN cable.
