Default Linux<->Windows connection using USB host-to-host cable

Hello,
I've got a problem. I need to make connection between two computer

Computer A has:
1. USB port
2. GNU/Linux Debian Woody with custom kernel 2.4.25 with my own
backport of driver for ALi Corp M5632 chip based host-to-host USB 2.0
cable

Computer B has:
1. USB port
2. Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP (You choose. ;) )

I was able to make connection between to Linux based computers (using
usbnet), and two Windows computers but I have had no luck with Linux to
Windows one - computers do not see each other (pings, etc.).

I searched for the answer almost everywhere (google, groups archive,
mail list of linux-usb.org etc.) but didn't find the answer wheather it
is possible not mention HOW to do it.
I believe I need special driver for windows, but till today I was
unable to find one.

Oh, another thing. It HAS to be made through USB Cable, not ordinary
networking card, RS232 null-modem cable etc, etc.

Thank you for your answers,
Radoslaw Grzanka
