USB Network?
-
Hi all :) I was wondering if it is possible to create a local network between two or more computers throw a USB cable (assumed that the computers in question have USB ports), without using a normal network cable and adapter? If so then does it require any special configuration, if it does then how? And also, is it possible to use so called USB Hubs or Switchs to connect more then two computers together?

I believe it is though I have never done it so am not much help sorry. Having siad that I have seen adapters that fit into a USB post that take RJ45 connectors found on the end of Cat-5 cable. Might be worth looking int them as they are then just used as a normal NIC with TCP/IP.
