It isn't possible to connect two computers to each other using a
standard USB cable. Here are two ways to make the connection:
1. Get a pair of USB Ethernet adapters and connect them just like
Ethernet adapters that mount inside a computer. Connecting two
computers directly, without a hub, switch, or router, requires a
specially wired crossover cable.
2. Get a USB-to-USB cable, with added circuitry, that can connect two
computers directly. Here are some sites for more information:
