Why not use a crossover UTP network cable? It's the cheapest way to connect two PC's, and it also has the best transfer speed.

There are many ways to transfere data. If you have a network hub or switch you can connect both PCs and try it. If not you might wanna use either a ethernet crossover-cable check this out\nhttp://gccprinters.com/support/doc/crossover.html\n\nor you can use a usb computer-computer link\nhttp://www.windowsnetworking.com/j_helmig/usbmain.htm\n\nor finally you can just use a flash drive.

Windows XP has the drivers...make sure your device has AC power (if applicable). Restart your computer with the USB plugged in to a DIFFERENT USB SLOT!!!

As far as i know i don' tthink you can. you would need a special usb cable and special drivers to do it.

these answers that suggest of using a USB to USB Datalink Cable are in principle correct but it doesn't work because you can neither share the folders nor install the communication program on the PC for this Link Cable. did you ever try to do this blindly? .. :p\nso it might be the better solution to hook the TV set to the PC using a S-video cable, provided that the PC has an S-video output and the TV set has the corresponding input.

just plug it in through the USB and then the computer will detect it, then transfer ur files to it, do the same with other comp. to download ur stuff, a simple copy paste will work

Note: There is no way to add USB to a computer through serial, PS/2 or parallel ports. With a desktop (as opposed to laptop) computer either the motherboard must support USB ports with built-in connectors or "header" connectors for attaching cable/bracket assemblies, or a PCI slot card must be used. Laptops require "PCCard" slot USB adapters. Older laptops with older versions of PCMCIA slots will not work.

I think you are asking about buying a wireless\nadapter which connects to the USB port on your\nPC.  If so, you can visit any of the vendor\nwebsites, where you would find a multitude of\nproducts to choose from, depending on how fast\nyou want to go and how sophisticated your LAN\nis.  I suggest visiting the websites by\nNetgear, Linksys, and Dlink, and possibly\nothers.  Even the PC vendors (such as Dell, HP)\nsell this stuff directly from their web sites.\n\nI recently bought a couple of adapters from\nNetgear.  It took about 10 minutes to install\nand customize for my encription needs.  So\nfar it works just fine.

Actually, I've heard that using USB cable to connect the 2 pc's to transfer files is not the recommended way of doing so.\n\nIf you have a USB removable flash memory drive, this is THE easiest and fastest way to transfer files from one pc to another (you can buy 1GB flash drive for $30! or why not a USB external Hard Drive for 80GB for $100?).\n\nIf you don't want to buy another accessory, then your other choice is to connect your 2 pc's together by using either a Null Modem Serial Cable or by using Home Networking. Then, use the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard", which is already included in your Windows XP operating system.\n\nBut first you need to connect your two computers together. The EASIEST way to connect is to get a Null Modem Serial Cable (buy at any computer shop and they are cheap), while the FASTER way to transfer files is to use Home Networking (more complex method).\n\nUsing the Serial Cable:\nFirst, make sure both pc's have an available serial port (aka COM port). Most new computers have a 9-pin port and most new cables have a 9-pin plug. If you have a 25-pin port on the computer, you'll need to buy an adaptor for the cable. If you have more than one port to plug the serial cable into the computer, just pick one of the ports and plug the serial cable in. The Files And Settings Transfer Wizard will automatically detect the connection later.\n\nHome Networking:\nIf you are planning to keep both your old computer and your new computer, you may want to just create a Home network. \nFirst make sure both computers have a Network Interface Card (NIC) or a USB network interface installed. You'll need a network cable and to buy a hub (If you have wireless, you won't need a cable or a hub). Now, run the "Network Setup Wizard" to set up your Home network (Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, Communications).\n\nAfter you have decided which method to take, and you have connected both computers, run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools). The rest is pretty self-explanatory, but if you do get stuck, here's a link for more help: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/crawford_november12.mspx\n(scroll a little down for the relevant section)\n\nGood Luck!

The only way I can think of is following:\n\n- Share your USB Printer \n- Use the network resource and attach it to a LPTx port ( u can do this with "NET USE LPTx &#92;&#92;your_pc_name&#92;USBP" where LPTx is the port u want to use (ie Lpt1) \n- Happy printing....

you will need something call a router (buy them at Bestbuy or Circuit City.) Hook up is quite easy (just read the instruction) If you buy a wireless router, then you will need wireless adapter (Internal or USB) for both desktop and laptop

You have to be more specific when you're asking this question. What do you want to hook up???  Whats the purpose of hooking it up??? Is gaming involved??? INternet???\nWhat OSs are involved?\n\nIf you want both computers to link up, but limited to (eg. transfer files..)  you can use a number of methods:\n\nONe is the serial cable method. \nAnother is the parallel cable method. \n( for these two, you need to configure windows for direct connection. OR you can use a third party software such as "laplink" to connect )\n\nIf both laptops have network capability, try hooking them up via LAN, or use a Crossover Cable from port to port. \n\nLike i said, this involves a number of methods, you have to know what type of task needs to be performed.\n\nGlad to help.

Sure there are, but you don't want to buy a bottom of the line usb version for ~$100, do you?  Of course you don't!  You want to spend about $20 and get DIRECT access, right?  Here's a link for you: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010010073&Submit=ENE&Subcategory=73&description=1394&Ntk=all  The prices start at $9.99, btw.
