This product works very nicely in all aspects of computerNetworking. You can do simple file transfers, play games,etc... If you have a Network Interface card installed on your PC, you run into some minor problems. If you don't, it's the best thing you can get to have two computers Networked.

Be aware that there is a patch that you must download, from the manufacturer's Web Site. It's a small file, which is self extracting and inserts the updates to the right place on its own...

I connected my desktop computer to my laptop computer within 10 minutes (including setting up the software on both computers). I was able to transfer files and access programs on either computer without ANY problems. My only complaint (and I believe it has more to do with Microsoft Networking, not USBnet) is that I now have a sign-on dialog I have to go through (User Name, Password) on both computers. Great product, fast connection, and it lets me share my SCSI-based Zip drive & scanner with my notebook computer!

This product proved to be extremely unstable with my two Compaq computers, both running Windows 98 SE. My PCs would inevitably freeze at some point after I attempted to share files. Called and emailed tech support, who were neither savvy nor even courteous after their initial fix ideas didn't work. If you really want to try a USB networking product, try 3COM or Intel.
