Chris, that link (the one Peter gave us) seems to be for a cable with USB at one end and a flat connector of some sort at the other. The one you need has an RJ45 connector at the mount end. Have a look at Shoestring Astronomy's site for their USB2EQ5 cable:

Mine worked when I connected it yesterday in Win 7 (32 Bit). Can't vouch for other OSs.
