About your home network
Before you begin, you must have a Microsoft Windows-based home network
set up. If you do not already have a network installed, you need to purchase
the network components and follow the installation instructions provided by
the manufacturer. The Gateway Connected DVD Player supports all major types
of home networks, including:
■
Wired Ethernet
A wired Ethernet network consists of two or more devices connected
through an Ethernet cable.
■
Wireless access point
A Wireless access point network uses radio waves to link devices using a
wireless network card, an access point, and a wired Ethernet network.
■
Wireless peer-to-peer
A wireless peer-to-peer network consists of two or more wireless Ethernet
computers that communicate with each other without a wireless access
point.
If your Gateway Connected DVD Player came with a network card, the card is
one of the following types:
■
PC Card to Ethernet adapter card
■
Wireless 802.11b network PC Card
Important If you are using a wireless network with an access point,
be sure to configure the access point according to the
manufacturer’s instructions before continuing.
