Tiftof Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I connect my pc's with an usb-cable. I only use it to transfer files. First I had to install a little program on both computers and then I could transfer files from one computer to another. I don't think you can share an internet connection with it and it's different from a LAN network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwakui Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I read that a simple USB cable will not do the job and that other hardware is necessary; simply placing a USB cable between two properly implemented USB ports will simply cause them to short out.
