Sharing Your Resources
The HomeLink
®
card brings the advantages of inexpensive networking to your
home or office. Any device on the network, including CD-ROM drives, hard
drives, and printers, can be used by any of the PCs that you hook up to the net-
work. The installation CD-ROM that came with your HomeLink Card will
automatically set up your networked PCs so that all of their available resources
can be shared. Of course, you have control over the sharing rights, so you will
be able to isolate devices or drives that you do not want to be accessible from
the rest of the network.
It is important to note that if you want to use a networked device on a PC other
than the one that the device is attached to, you must configure the PC to han-
dle the device.
