| 186471 | 2003-10-25 06:26:00 | More and more people i know are buying htese Flash memory sticks and they seem like a good buy, but I was wondering if there is anyway I can use my notebook and a USB data cable to connect to a pc in the same way with minimum setup hassle. The reason being is that the computers I want to connect to are campus computers which dont allow me to play with the LAN settings to use a normal patch cable. Anyone done this or know if it can be done? |

The problem with what you want to do, is that both devices (computers) are "source" devices, and while special USB cables can be obtained, they also need to be configured in LAN settings, as they behave as a network. |

| 186474 | 2003-10-26 01:48:00 | It's a Very Bad Idea to make your own network connection to "campus" computers. Access to those computers is probably needed for your courses. The rules under which you are given that access will firmly state that any attempt to do unauthorised things will get your access cancelled. :_| And they will catch you. ;-) If you're allowed to use those USB "disks" as big floppies, that's fine. Use that. If you need a different form of access, talk to the system administrators. They'd rather tell you what you can do (and maybe help you do something) than throw you off the system because you have broken all the rules. |
