Hi guys
I'm only a student
I'm trying to connect two computers together using the usual USB cable which ends with two male connectors on both sides
so I cut the power wire within the cable
and connected the two computers to their USB ports
I used the jusb API for Windows and javax-usb to do that
but java didn't recognize any device on any port even though I know that the root hub
is a device (isn't it)
So I'm asking your help because I have to handle this project to my supervisor in no time (Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease)
1- I want to ask you guys is it about the cable:
I mean that did I ruin the cable when I cut the power wire in it?!!!
Could it work if I didn't cut that wire (I thought that the ports might be damaged or even the motherboard culd be damaged also) is my thought right or not.
Not
e:
There's a USB device in the market which can be used to connect two windows systems together, I am not allowed to use it.
2- Or is the whole idea is wrong and I can't connect two PCs through usb ports
using Javax-usb?
3- Can I do this through USB hub?
If the answer is Yes I can connect the PCs by the help of Java over USB ports
please send me a solution (How to connect the PCs) and a code to begin with.
and if I can't do it please tell me why.
and thanks a lot already
