Very possibly, YES IT WILL DAMAGE THE COMPUTERS. Beware USB A-A Male cables. Do NOT attempt to use these to interconnect 2 computers. They are only in existence at this point to connect very old first generation USB devices. At the time the spec either allowed or required the use type A connectors on both ends. The reason it doesn't work -- USB is designed to have 1 master only. A computer is a Master. If you connect 2 masters it will definitely NOT work and you may electrically short one or both machines. There are special USB A-A Male cables out there that will look a little different than you might expect. They'll likely have a bump or box of some kind in the cable or at one end or both end connectors. The intervening electronics are playing games with the signaling to make a connection, basically making the other computer appear to be a device not a computer. Also, usually there are specific drivers and/or software included with such a cable.

You can connect a laptop to a computer using a special USB cable known as a bridge cable, link cable, transfer cable or USB network cable. These cables have a USB A type connector on both ends and the cable itself is joined via a small adapter that controls the data flow and electrical current between the laptop and computer.WARNING: DO NOT use an A type to A type USB cable to connect two computers! You will likely damage both computers and/or create a fire hazard. Connecting a USB cable in this manner will NOT network the two computers. Check the related link for further warning information.
