10 Microsoft Broadband Networking PCI Adapter User’s Guide
Option D:
I want to connect another computer to a Home Phone
Line (HomePNA) Network or Power Line Communication
(PLC) Network.
To add a computer to a HomePNA or PLC network by using a
Microsoft Broadband Networking Ethernet adapter, you need to
purchase a HomePNA-to-Ethernet or PLC-to-Ethernet adapter. For
more information about connecting to this kind of network, see the
documentation for your HomePNA or PLC network or contact the
manufacturer’s support services.
To set up your adapter on a HomePNA or PLC network, see
“Connecting an Adapter Using Plug and Play” in Chapter 3. You do
not need to run the Setup Wizard, but you will need to configure
your network settings on the newly networked computer.
Security Considerations for Option D
Any network that connects to the Internet needs protection from
hackers and viruses. How you decide to protect your HomePNA or
PLC network depends on how the network connects to your
broadband modem and to the Internet.
Check that your networking hardware includes a firewall or Network
Address Translation (NAT) software between all networked
computers and the Internet.
Option E:
I have already connected my adapter and have not yet
installed the software.
If you have already connected the adapter and have not yet
installed the software, or you do not want to run the Setup Wizard,
see “Setting Up an Adapter by Using Plug and Play” in Chapter 3 for
setup instructions.
