linking 2 pc's using USB>USB cable (laplink?)

[almostkrap]

is there any decent programs like laplink that are maybe free(?), I have a data transfer usb cable(?), but I cant find the old program I used to use.

so if anyone can recomend anything for transfering large files, I would be gratefull

ps: thanks to all those who helped me yesterday

For transferring large files, usb is NOT the way to go as usb is limited to 11 Mbits/s.

You want to use Firewire (if you have one) which is more stable and efficient with transfer speeds up to 400 Mbits/s

I only have about 15 gig to transfer, and I dont have firewire on any of my machines!, usb would be fine.

Win98c has the ability to setup a cable transfer
using usb 2 usb. From memory it is very slow
though

just use the "Create a new connection" wizard in the Network Connection and choose the last option which is to connect directly to another PC... The other machine also needs to run the same wizard... (i believe it's called something else in win98... can't be too certain here)
ONe configured as a host and the other as a guest. Then you can use it to transfer files.

If I was you I'd simply hook up two Network cards
and a "reversed network rj cable' and setup both
PC's for networked transfer.
