Networking Basics You may have had some ideas about how to use your new network prior to installing this kit - sharing files, printing from any computer on the network, or accessing the Internet on multiple computers with one connection. This section will help you get started on those ideas or even give you some new ones. However, this section is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to networking, it is just an outline of a few networking basics. If you installed your DFE-538TX on computers running Windows 95, you got an opportunity to give each computer a name during the installation of the network system software. If you had previously given your Windows 95 computers names or if you are using Windows 98, you may need to verify that each computer has a unique name and common workgroup name. Computer Identification 1. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network Neighborhood" and select "Properties" from the context menu. 8

Networking Basics
You may have had some ideas about how to use your new network prior to
installing this kit – sharing files, printing from any computer on the network, or
accessing the Internet on multiple computers with one connection. This section will
help you get started on those ideas or even give you some new ones. However, this
section is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to networking, it is just an
outline of a few networking basics.
If you installed your DFE-538TX on computers running Windows 95, you got an
opportunity to give each computer a name during the installation of the network
system software. If you had previously given your Windows 95 computers names or
if you are using Windows 98, you may need to verify that each computer has a
unique name and common workgroup name.
