[ILUG] DHCP on home LAN?

[Gareth Eason]

	No - do NOT put an ordinary USB cable between two computers. There is a 
reasonably good chance that you will short out the USB power lines, thus 
frying one or both motherboards. This is not a good idea.

	You can purchase custom made USB cables for connecting PC ports 
directly together, which do a reasonably good job.

	Best regards,
