Sharing Your Resources
The HomeLink Phoneline card brings the advan-
tages of inexpensive networking to your home or
office. Any device on the network, including CD-
ROM drives, hard drives, and printers, can be used
by any of the PCs that you hook up to the net-
work. The installation CD-ROM that came with
your HomeLink Card will automatically set up
your networked PCs so that all of their available
resources can be shared. Of course, you have con-
trol over the sharing rights, so you will be able to
isolate devices or drives that you do not want to be
accessible from the rest of the network.
It is important to note that if you want to use a
networked device on a PC other than the one that
the device is attached to, you must configure the
PC to handle the device.
