Connect each computer on a home PNA network directly to a telephone-line wall
connector. If you have more computers than telephone-line wall connectors in a
room, use a telephone splitter at the wall connector.
Actual network transfer speeds depend on many factors, such as home wiring
configuration, and are often less than the maximum possible.
Some Internet service provider (ISP) accounts do not allow Internet sharing or they
charge extra for it. Your ISP access agreement might require you to have more than
one account. Check your ISP access agreement for more information.
