I read somewhere that you can do that.But only to transfer files. Hang in there and keep googling also try DriverGuide has all the drivers I will ever need.

Of cource you can, but only with windows xp (as far as I know). Go to start>control panel>networking and internet connections>setup or change your home or small office network.

I havnt done this in a while, but I KNOW you can network though usb (my first pc got the internet through a usb connection to my dads pc). Do the setup, and check the appropriate boxes (I think at one point you have to check "ignore inactive devices", or something like that), and then when it sais to burn a cd, do so, and run the setup on the other pc. Post back how it goes.

I also remember somewhere in windows 2000 there as the "setup alternative network" where you could setup a network through serial, usb, ir, and a couple others.

Personal experience, I find it much easier to transfer files between computers using their network cards and a crossover cable. No additional software is required, just some network configurations(which XP may do for you...) If you continue to have problems, you might want to look into this method.

I agree, you'll find it's much easier than faffing about with a usb cable.
