Hi, is it possible to connect a PC to laptop through USB and a Network Card? My PC doesn't have a network card, but I do have a USB 10/100 ethernet adapter. Is there any way to transfer files using USB and a network card?
no, but u can get a usb infrared adapter for the pc, then tranfer that way to the lapper. adapters are about 25.00

I'm sure what you're talking about doing will work fine, as the adapter should act just like a normal network card. Try it. Worst case scenario: It doesn't work.
You can also network them together using a special USB cable, using the USB ports on both computers and not even worry about the ethernet card or cable.

Hey Bryan, do you or anyone else know how I might attempt to setup the transfer using my configuration listed in my initial post? I am trying to do this transfer without having to buy anything if possible even though I will eventually end up buying a network card later. Trying not to spend too much cash since I have tuition and other expenses.

Pacman...wish I could help further, but I have no idea what equipment/configuration you are talking about in your original post. I don't know what adapter you're referring to. If it's an adapter that converts USB to ethernet (which is what I imagine you're saying), it should work perfectly well, as though it were a standard network card. Just run the networking wizard on the computers and you should be in business.
