ive searched far and wide, here and web, can't find any info on how to network using USB? usb2.0 specifically. on microsoft's website under xp, they dont even list USB as a possibility for networking. yet i see the hardware that you can buy for it in stores.

anyone know of a guide, or a way to set this up in xp pro?

edit: for example, this "file transfer cable"

u might want to go with firewire?

I know that's not u want since u already have usb 2 but firewire's have more support in this manner

they even have firewire hubs...

i know firewire is easier, but im thinking in the context of file recovery on computers that are old. since a larger percentage of computers have usb instead of firewire, it could be a more likely way to recover files from damaged systems.
