Home Networking Solutions Additional Information on Configuring your Home Network The process for linking other computers may vary, based on the operating system in use on individual computers. You can establish and manage your home network with computers that run various Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. However, Sony recommends that all linked computers use the Windows Me™ operating system. For best results, consult the documentation that accompanied the specific computer(s) and the specific HomePNA device(s). General Guidelines: ❑ The steps for configuring any computer running the Windows Me operating system are similar to the instructions provided in this manual. For specific information, consult the documentation that accompanied the HomePNA device. ❑ To set up home network configuration for computers running the Windows® 98 operating system, you can create a setup disk when you configure your VAIO computer. ❑ When you configure your Sony VAIO® computer with the direct Internet connection for the home network, you must select the No option on the Home Networking Wizard's Internet Connection screen. ❑ When you assign each computer name, it must be unique to the individual computer. If any computer on your home network has the same name, neither computer can connect to the network. Naming your computers by location or function is an efficient way to easily identify the components of your home network. ❑ When you assign a workgroup name, you must use the same workgroup name with each linked computer on your home network. If your computers are assigned to different workgroup names, they cannot be linked together on your home network. ❑ If your home is equipped with two separate phone lines, such as separate business and personal phone service, you must create your home network on a single line. All linked computers on your home network must be plugged into telephone jacks that are extensions of one telephone service line. If your home network is set up using two separate phone lines, the linked computers are not able to communicate or share data and peripheral equipment. 20
