Very nice thanks. What kind of drivers does it setup? What protocol does it use? How are files shared?

Also you technically don't even need a cross over cable anymore. Tried it on my laptop to another with a normal straight through and it worked.

Only on modern network cards that support it.

Mostly on gigabit ethernet that support auto mdi-x. Been out for quite some time already.

No special drivers, but no network protocols either, as USB is strictly single HOST-TARGET. Special software is required. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Transfer_Cable

Currently, there are only a few software products which are designed for this cable. They include:

Windows Easy Transfer, by Microsoft[1]
Easy Computer Sync, by Bravura Software[2]

Therefore, Direct Cable Connection over USB is not possible; a USB link cable must be used, as seen in the Microsoft knowledge base article 814982. However, with a USB link cable, a program which supports data transfer using that cable must be used.
