    <p>What you essentially need is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus" rel="nofollow noreferrer">USB</a> port on PC-1 that will act as a USB device for PC-2. </p> <p>That is not possible for the vast majority of PC systems because USB is an asymmetric bus, with a host/device (or master/slave, if you wish) architecture. USB controllers (and their ports) on most PCs can only work in host mode and cannot simulate a device.</p> <p>That is the reason that you cannot network computers through USB without a special cable with specialised electronics.</p> <p>The only exception is if you somehow have a PC that supports the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go" rel="nofollow noreferrer">USB On-The-Go</a> standard that allows for a USB port to act in both host and device mode. USB-OTG devices do exist, but they are usually embedded devices (smartphones etc). I don't know if there is a way to add a USB-OTG port to a commodity PC.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>If you do not need a keyboard before the OS on PC-2 boots, you might be able to use a pair of USB Bluetooth dongles - one on each PC. You'd have to use specialised software on PC-1, but it is definitely possible - I've already seen a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4177186/is-it-possible-to-make-a-computer-behave-as-a-bluetooth-hid-device">possible implementation on Linux</a>, and I am reasonably certain that there must be one for Windows. You will also need Bluetooth HID drivers on PC-2, if they are not already installed.</p> <p>On a different note, have you considered a purely software/network solution such as <a href="http://www.tightvnc.com/download.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TightVNC</a>?</p>

    2. CO@Lucas: I don't think that will help. You need to send low-level USB packets, which that device will not be able to pass-through - its electronics are designed for transfering data. BTW, despite whatever is mentioned in its description, it's not really driverless. All it means is that it includes a small flash drive with the drivers and it does not need a separate CD. Windows do not have drivers for such devices.

    3. COOk that's what I suspected. Could i use some kind of device between the two PC ? PC-1 would send low-level USB packets to this device which would send it to PC-2.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
