    Network Lead is easiest and fastest. Make sure you get a crossover cable if you aren't using a switch or router.

    USB 1.1 to USB 2.0 would only go at USB 1.1 speed.
    So a USB 1.1 datacable and a USB 2.0 datacable would give you the same speed.

    Go with the Crossover cable option...

    As said the cross over cable and as said also it will only work at USB 1.1 speed.
    USB 1.1 should be ut to rest now,well annoying sometimes.
