Answer» I want to try to use the FILE and Folder transfer Wizard using the direct cable method but I can't figure out what kind it cable it wants. I LIKE the USB option but do they make a USB cable with a USB connection on both ends? Can I take the crossover cable that runs from the modem to the router off duty and use that as a serve as a direct cable?

Radio Shack.
