Tips

* Note that this type of connection can be more difficult to set up and manage; where possible, connecting via ethernet is probably a better option.


Warnings

* Never try to connect two computers with the so-called A/A cable that has no converting electronics inside (just a plain cable with matching connectors). It connects input to input and output to output, so can easily damage the hardware.


Things You'll Need

* USB Data Transfer Cable (available from your local electronic store)
