Does anyone know of any problems if one connects two computers usb to usb? ( i.e. Laptop to desktop)? is there anything special or any special hardware or cables necessary--besides the usb a to a cables?

Thanks

Sure... No chance in hell it will work.

Buy yourself a USB RJ-45 port for 10 bux... buy 2 of them along with a crossover cable.

have a nice day..

Just like the old days of serial and parallel port data transfer cables, to connect 2 computers using the USB ports you need a USB data transfer cable.

They run between $20 and $30 (US).
