Here are two ways to do it:

1. Get a pair of USB Ethernet adapters and connect them just like
Ethernet adapters that mount inside a computer. Connecting two
computers directly, without a hub, switch, or router, requires a
specially wired crossover Ethernet cable.

2. Get a USB-to-USB networking cable. Here are some sites for more
information:
