Appendix
Using a Cable Modem and the HomeLink
Card
If you are currently using a network card with a
cable modem, it is recommended that you connect
your cable modem to a hub for faster access
speeds. Keep in mind that some cable modems
may not be connected to a hub and require a direct
connection to a network card. Check with your
provider if you have any questions regarding this
matter.
You can also add the HomeLink card to a PC with
an existing network card. The WinGate Home
software that came with your HomeLink card is
capable of sharing the Internet connection on the
second card. For setup of two network cards in
your PC, see the documentation with your operat-
ing system. Linksys does not provide any techni-
cal support in setting up multiple network cards in
a PC. Linksys will support the installation of mul-
tiple cards, but is not responsible for setting up
and configuring routing or filtering tables.
Some cable modem providers may prevent the use
of proxy software to share the Internet. The best
course of action would be to discuss the matter
with your cable service provider, then consult your
PC’s documentation to find out what is required to
install multiple network cards.
