Windows Vista: Sharing An Adsl Connection In An Ad Hoc Type Network - Hercules ePlug 500 Nano Manual

4.4.2. Windows Vista: Sharing an ADSL connection in an Ad hoc
type network
Let's take the example of a Hercules HomePlug network composed, on one end, of an ADSL USB or Ethernet
modem directly connected by a cable to one of your computers (which we will refer to as Connection point A),
and, on the other end, of a computer (which we will refer to as Connection point B) on which you want to
access the Internet.
Connection point A
You are in Ad hoc mode. In this mode, the computers are directly connected to one another, without an
access point (or router), via the HomePlug network. In order for Connection point B to be able to access the
ADSL connection at Connection point A:
- Connection point B must be part of the same HomePlug network as Connection point A.
- The computer connected to the modem must be powered on.
- The Internet line must be active.
Connection point B
1. Access the Network and Sharing
Center by clicking the network icon on
the Windows taskbar, then click the
Network and Sharing Center link.
Before setting up sharing for your folders,
your printer or your Internet connection, you
must enable sharing in the Network and
Sharing Center.
