How can I change my home page in my browser to the HomePortal?
Note: You can reach the HomePortal default page anytime simply by typing
homeportal
in your brower’s address field.
To make HomePortal your default home page:
1.
Click the icon at the bottom of your computer screen to open
HomePortal Monitor.
2.
From HomePortal Monitor, select
Make HomePortal My Default Web Page
.
How can I add peripherals to the HomePortal?
The HomePortal has two USB peripheral ports; however, these are not currently
available for use. Check www.2Wire.com to find out if your USB peripherals can
be used.
Does the HomePortal work with Linux, FreeBSD, and other operating
systems?
Installation of the HomePortal software on your first computer should be done on
a computer running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or Macintosh 8.5 or higher. Also,
the HomePortal Monitor portion of the graphical user interface requires Windows
95, 98, NT, 2000, or Macintosh 8.5 or higher. Other operating systems are not
fully supported by 2Wire.
However, any computer capable of using a dynamically assigned IP address via
DHCP can be used within a HomePortal network. This means that computers
running any network-capable operating system can benefit from the security and
Internet sharing capabilities of the HomePortal. They can also point their browsers
to the HomePortal Web user interface (http://homeportal). To use the HomePortal
with an unsupported operating system:
1.
Verify that the DHCP server and the DNS (Domain Name Server) are
stopped.
2.
Configure your system to run as a DHCP client.
3.
Connect the computer to the HomePortal network by way of HomePNA,
wireless, or Ethernet.
