Laptop to PC

Can i network a laptop to a pc with a usb cable. Parrallel does not work. Both have xp home. I presume it would a matter of finding the software to do it
Suggestions? Anne

If you are looking for an easy way to connect two machines, you could try using a crossover cable. It is a easy way to connect only two machines without special hardware or software, although there are many methods to accomplish a network.

See Peer-to-Peer Local Networking Using CrossOver Cables.
