Networking software for USB-USB cables I would imagine is proprietary to the cable, therefore perhaps but it's no use unless you buy the wire anyway.

can software for this be 'acquired' from the normal 'sources' or is it freeware? :o

With the right software, yes.

Ethernet and a crossover is preferable though.

Ethernet and a switch is best option as then you can add more stuff.

"ethernet", like the kind you'd plug your computer into a router with looks like this



crossover, which you'll need for peer to peer is wired like this

Anyone got any ideas on how to do this?

I have all the necessary cables etc etc but they wont connect, even after using the ever-so-helpful Windows wizard.
