USB Networking
« on: July 18, 2007, 08:37:46 AM »
First question: is it possible?
Second question: how?

I use two computers at work. One is my internet computer and the other is secured on a closed loop network. Currently, if I need to transfer files from one computer to the other, I use a usb flash drive, which is okay but somewhat cumbersome. I think it would be easier if I could use a usb cable to transfer files to and from each computer. Probably would leave one end plugged in all the time and disconnect the other when I don't need it.
Anyone know if this is possible and how it's done?

well you speak like a lady...it is quite posible, what you have to do is to find a router to connect the connected system to the router and connect a network cable from that router to the usb network card, which you have to purchase and fixed to the usb port of the new system...That usb network cable has two port, one for usb and the other has network port...I think this solve the problem...

That's exactly the opposite of what I was asking about. I think I know how to network with ethernet. After all I am a network administrator for a local government. My question was how to network with usb, not traditional cat5 cables.
I think I've heard of usb networking but not completely sure what it entails.
