Pins 1,2,3,6 irc are what the signal goes in and out on. You need a cross over cable.

Actually a hub or multiport repeater would be easiest.

H,mmmm, can I plug a usb cable into one machine, a hub into the
other, and then plug the USB from the one machine into the USB hub in
the other?

Well, yes, I can, but will it work the way I want it? I'd really
hate to find I'm dividing by zero and creating a black hole or a Higgs
boson generator, or some other minor catastrophe.

It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!

Cant say they arent out there..but Ive never seen USB used that way
before.


I have a special USB to USB cable (with a processor in the middle)
made to transfer data between computers. It takes less time to install
a network card or two, and transfer the data over my network.

How fast is it compared to networking via 10/100?

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
