I have a laptop with only two USB ports. How can I get more USB ports so I can connect more devices?

Just get a usb hub, preferably a powered usb hub. This will use one usb port but give you a minimum 4 extra ports for a net gain of 3 usb ports. By using a powered hub you reduce the power load on the laptop keeping it cooler than a non powered or pcmcia card.

they make adapters for printer for that, it is a parallel to USB adapter, under 20 at your local computer or electronics store, cheaper in Ebay

Get a USB connector. I forgot the name but it is a tool that connect your internal Harddrive to your computer. I only connect 3 in my computers but I believe if you have several external harddrives that connect to USB ports, it won't be a matter to have 4 hard disc at the same time. imho =)

no, usb ports can't be upgraded. the only thing you can use is a pcmcia - usb 2.0 adapter card (but it hasn't to be one with a firewire 1394 jack - those are way too expensive).\n\nthis one is very good, is much cheaper and will do it\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815123021

there's a good chance your firewall is doing this, you should open it, and look for a setting that allows you to open single ports..\n\nR3dm0

Get a USB Cross-directional cable. Hook it up to a USB port on both computers. Then find some software to aid in transferring.

its not possible to conect them directly with a USB cable, you need a special cable that you can find at the link. \n\nThis will connect the computer with the USB cab

Connect them to two USB ports or install a second parallel port. Check any computer store.

You can buy adapters for almost anything nowadays, adapters that will connect USB mice/keyboards to PS/2 sockets, DVI monitors to VGA plugs...etc Just pay a visit to your local Radio Shack.

Test on the other USB Port, it might happen that your current USB Port that you use is not working.

A USB hub is a small device which you plug into a single USB port on your computer and it splits the port into several ports - typically four - allowing you to connect several devices to a single port.

Maybe the USB device is wonky. Or maybe you should try all the USB ports in your computer.

Well you can add a usb 2.0 port and it's not expensive at all contrary to previous posts. Buy it, blug it in and your set.\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DCKHV/sr=8-9/qid=1151222537/ref=pd_bbs_9/102-7048259-7239330?ie=UTF8
