please tell me how. I'm shure that I must have an
special cable but I don't have any ideea to build one!
There's more, I have to program thows PCs to receive or
transmit data between them.
If you can help me, please do that.

Thank you!

In your own OS? Do you have USB support done?

If you need it in general, those cables are
not simply cable, they contain special logic for
that task and should have with special software.

Or a link?

Well, if you're doing it in Linux you should just
have to install USB support and plug the two
comp's through a USB cable (does anybody know if
you have to swap pins for a USB peer-to-peer network
like you do for an ethernet cable).

Check out the Linux USB FAQ... I'm sure there'll
be something about USB networks.

Once that's set up, you can sent and receive through
unix sockets.
