USB Type A to Type A - Data File Sharing --Help

[DaveLembke]

I bought a cable that is a USB Type A at both ends and advertised on the packaging to connect one computer to the other.

I tried to set up a Direct Connect in Communications, but only see Com1, Com2, and LPT as only available options.... Anyone know how to perform a direct connect via this cable and USB?

Do I need any special software to make this happen?

Plugged this cable in between 2 computers a system running XP and another running 2000 and no connection was made. I know the USB ports work and the 2000 is USB 1.1 and the XP can run at 1.1 or 2.0

Thanks
