PC to PC USB Connection

I have an I-opener hooked up to an ethernet hub and I want a way to transfer files from my PC over to the I-opener. Is there any way to do this through the USB hub and the USB ports on both machines? Maybe this topic has been covered before, if so, then I couldn't find it doing a search.

Ethernet Card in Desktop $15, Cable to Ethernet Hub. (or You don't Really have Ethernet Do You ?)
Don't Hook USB to USB without $50 ~ $75 Interface.

That last message didn't make much sense, starfish. I have an ethernet card in my PC and a DSL connection, but I don't have a USB ethernet adapter for the I-opener yet.

Belkin makes a PC to PC network gadget using USB. It's two USB cables, some drivers and a small cookie sized box that the cables connect to in the middle. I have it as my PC to IO setup. I share my PC's CDROM to load software into the IO!

Opinion: It's slow, paralel port slow. It, the USB network, often crashes during big file transfers. When one side of the network has problems both sides must reboot in order to use the network at all. OTOH, it's cheap, easy to use and works well with the IO.
YMMV
