Verify that the HomeLink Card's Phoneline configuration is set to Auto
Configuration. See the chapter entitled Changing the Card Settings on page xx
for instructions on how to do this.
Try connecting your PCs using only the phone wire provided with the
HomeLink card. Disconnect your PCs from any phone jacks and remove any
telephone, modem, or other device that you have conencted to the HomeLink
cards.
If the PCs are far away from each other, bring them close to each other and try
connecting them directly together. This test will determine whether your phone
line or your HomeLink hardware is causing your network to malfunction.
Problem: I've decided that I don't want to share a drive or printer anymore, or
I have decided to physically remove a drive or printer from my network.
Solutions
You're going to have to reconfigure your File and Printer Sharing settings man-
ually. To do so, double-click on your My Computer icon. Click on the
Printers folder. A window of available printers will appear. Using your right
mouse button, click once on the printer that you want to disable on the network.
Click on Sharing, followed by the Sharing tab. Click on Not Shared. When
you're done, click on the Apply button, followed by OK.
You can disable drives in the same way. In Windows Explorer, right-click on
the drive you want to stop sharing. Click on Sharing, followed by the Sharing
tab. Click on Not Shared. When you're done, click on the Apply button, fol-
lowed by OK.
Problem: In Network Neighborhood, you can only see computers running the
same operating system as you. For example, if you are running Windows 95,
you can only see other Windows 95 computers and not any computer running
Windows 98.
Solutions
Click Start, Find, then Computer and type the name of any other computer in
the window that comes up. Click Find Now.
Make sure that you are using the same protocols and workgroup names on the
95 and 98 computers. To do this, click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, then
double-click on the Network icon. Click on the Configuration tab, then click
on the Identification tab for Workgroup settings. If any protocols are missing,
add any needed protocol(s) using the Add button in the Network window.
