4.3. Computers running Windows 7: Sharing folders, a printer
or an ADSL connection
To create a network of computers, share data, a printer or an ADSL connection between
computers running Windows 7, it is not imperative that the computers belong to the same
homegroup. However, if you wish to share between Windows 7 and an earlier operating
system, make sure to define the same homegroup on all computers. For information on how to
create a homegroup, please refer to the manual of your Hercules product.
Before proceeding as described below, please make sure that you have administrator rights.
For more information on how to obtain administrator rights, please refer to the Windows 7
online help.
The access paths described hereafter may vary slightly if you have modified the default
display in Windows 7 (that is to say, the Start menu properties and the Control Panel display).
You have connected your computer to a private network (as opposed to a public network). Therefore, the
discovery options (namely, the ability to view outside devices and computers and to be seen from other
networks) are enabled, and you may or not already have chosen to activate or deactivate sharing options (for
more information on how to activate sharing options, please refer to section 4.3.3).
4.3.1. Windows 7: Sharing an ADSL connection in an
Infrastructure type network
Reminder: If you have an Internet "box", a modem router or a router connected to a modem, and one or more
computers, your network will be in Infrastructure mode by default. In this mode, the computers are
connected to your access point, namely your "box", your modem router or your router connected to a
modem, via the HomePlug network. The Infrastructure mode is ideal for exchanging data, network gaming,
and also for sharing an Internet connection and/or a printer between several computers.
