Is it possible to create a Local Area Connection between 2 or more computers using USB interface ?

I have 2 Laptops and 1 Desktop.

Thanks.

get a cable which has both side usb male plugs, connect it to both computers open network wizard & follow the instruction & then if u have any problem ask here.

U will need a similar cable like this which has a converter in the middle:

Better use the LAN cable as it is cheaper

Thank You very much. I think LAN cable with RJ45 connector is a wise option. i was just curious

. Thank You Folks. U people are GR8.

Another option option is you can use PARALLEL LAP LINK cable to connect the two PC

nice work guys . i have opted for RJ-45 cable. thanks.

Lucky_star · 13-02-2007, 12:13 PM

Good. through RJ 45, you CAN GET 100 Mbps speeds..which is not possible through USB.

even u can get 1000MBps with CAT-5e cable and same RJ-45 connector if you have gigabit ethernet card

__________
even with CAT cables, cable length constraint is minimised

Do not get mistaken by "Gigabyte" its a company name....
I am talking about "Gigabit Ethernet card" make sure which one do you have..

BTW as i know ur model ASUS P5-VM does'nt come with a Gigabit Ethernet card..

Sorry its P5B-VM not P5-VM . and BTW GByte or GB stands for Gigabyte and Gbit or Gb stands for Gigabit. It may be a company but in general its a measure of data size .
