USB PC to PC Networking Function

Appendix A: USB PC to PC
Networking Function

USB PC to PC is the best solution for providing the easiest network

connection service to you.  By connecting multiple PCs through USB PC to

PC

 

port, you can build up a local area network without any network adapter.

We give this Ethernet emulation environment a name — USB PC to PC.  USB

PC to PC supports TCP/IP, NetBEUI and IPX protocols.  These features

make your PCs able to share their resources such as files or printers to each

other. Furthermore, USB PC to PC also gives you the ability of connecting to

your existing Home or Office LAN for network resource or Internet sharing.

The section includes the following topics:

Installing GeneLink™ LAN Driver
