Setting up Home Network Using HPNA

by annaquindlen . Updated 20 years, 5 months ago

Hello everyone,

Please pardon if this question sounds rather rookie-ish but here’s my problem:

I am trying to set up a network connection between my two home computers. I want to enable Internet Connection Sharing but I don’t want to use a router (since that means spending extra $$$ and I read that the alternative to that is to use HPNA). My host computer is a rather new emachines build with windows xp home edition (sp2 installed) and a dsl connection. My client (?) is an older compaq presario running on windows 98 se with no internet connection (but has both ethernet and dial-up capabilities if need be).

I ran the XP Network Setup Wizard and quite truthfully, that didn’t help me in the least bit on either of my two computers so I need a little help.

Any and all suggestions would be WARMLY and GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance to all for your time!

Sincerely,

Anna
