No, and the guts of "why" was in the note Steve sent you (which you quoted). "Simple A-to-A cable" was not on the list of products I mentioned, either. (Return it to whoever you bought it from and insist on your money back. Those cables are useless except for filling up recycling bins and taking money from people who don't return them.) > ? if yes then in what sense it is different from USB network cables ? Think for a minute: USB is by design an asymmetric protocol. An "A" (host) side talks to a "B" (device) side. As Steve's note said, a host is a host -- and you can't connect an "A" to another "A" like that bogus cable of yours. Only to a "B". End of story. The "network cables" actually have USB devices inside of them, with two "B" sides, each set up to talk to the other side. That way the two different "A" sides (hosts) only talk to "B" sides (devices), and you can transfer data host-to-host. - Dave _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
