I'm trying to connect to the internet on my other pc, but that one has no wifi and the ethernet adapter isn't functioning. So I did some research and pretty much all sources said that a usb to usb cable between computers is useless, but none of them explained why. They all said I need to use a usb bridge connector, but I want an explanation on why.
Anyone happen to know? Thanks |

I did my research, from both reliable and nonreliable sources. The ethernet port is broken |

| There are many types of USB to USB cables which work differently :) |

"Connecting any two computers using USB requires a special proprietary bridge cable. A directly connected pin-to-pin USB type A cable does not work, as USB does not support such a type of communication. In fact, attempting to do so may even damage the connecting computers, as it will effectively short the two computers' power supplies together by connecting their 5V and GND lines."
Google, use it.
