I don't think so. Maybe firewire could do the job..

If firewire works why wouldn't usb?

yes you can. You will need to install software on both computers however. You can connect PC-PC or PC-Mac this way, it works, used it myself.
One of those USB cable networking thingies could be found on Belkin web site.
