Networking Windows XP to Linux via a USB cable

05-20-2005, 03:02 AM

Hi,

Is it possible to link a lap top running Windows XP to a separate machine
running Linux via a USB cable? I have looked around and see that you can
do it from Windows XP to Windows XP but I can't find anything that
indicates if it can be done for Linux as well. If it is possible then
are there any instructions out there. Thanks.

Jon.

Why not use ethernet? Most computers come with ethernet these days.
