Connect 2 PCs with a USB-USB Cable


1. Get A USB-USB Cable

The first step in connecting the two PCs together is of course to get the USB-USB cable. Now you need to be very careful here ... you need to get the type of cable that is 'bridged'. This means there is a special feature in the cable that allows two PCs to communicate.


2. Installation

Once you've obtained the cable, you can hook up the cable and the PCs. First thing you need to do is to install any software and drivers that came with the cable.

Most cables should offer two modes of connection:
  • In the link mode, you can freely copy files between the two computers.
  • On network mode, you can not only copy files, but also share folders, printers and an Internet connection.
3. Start Using That Connection

If you're using the cable under link mode, you simply access the transfer program provided by the cable software. Open up the program and start transferring your files.

If you're using network mode, you need to do the following:
  • Go to the PC with Internet access. Go to Start => Settings => Network Connections. You'll find the network adapters presently on your PC.
  • Now right click the adapter that is connecting your PC to the Internet. Choose Properties and click on the Advanced tab. In that tab, check 'Allow other network users to connect through this computer�s Internet connection'.
  • Once you've done this, restart the PC and the other computer should be able to access the Internet as well.

Asyncronous Communication

Asynchronous &is any data transmission that does not link the two devices with a common data clock. A Signal called a start bit is sent at the beginning of each segment, & a signal called a stop bit is sent at the end, these let the receiving device note the baundries(beginning & end) of a transmission packet. Early PC modems were almost Asynchronous devices operating at speeds of no more than 18,000 bps.

Diference between laptop & desktop computer

Most laptop processors are soldered directly in the motherboard, which means they cannot be removed. If there is some error in laptop processor, the entire motherboard needs to be replaced. Laptops processors can be slowed down when they are not running to their full capacity. The processor uses a technique called processor trotling that allows the operating system to put the processor in active sleep mode or shutdown mode. Laptop processors run at reduced clock rate than desktop processors. This helps them to produce less heat when running at full capacity. Laptop processors consume less power which though make them a slow performer but it greatly helps them to save battery life.
