• Try connecting your PCs using only the phone wire provided with the
HomeLink adapter. Disconnect your PCs from any phone jacks and
remove any telephone, modem, or other device that you have connected
to the HomeLink adapters.
• 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 net-
work to malfunction.
• Ensure that the other PC is turned on!
6. 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.
• You’re going to have to reconfigure your File and Printer Sharing settings
manually. To do so, double-click on your My Computer icon. Click on

• Click Start, Find, then Computer and type the name of any other com-
puter in the window that comes up. Click Find Now.

then double-click on the Network icon. Click on the Configuration tab
and verify your protocol settings. If any protocols are missing, add any
needed protocol(s) using the Add button in the Network window. Next,
click on the Identification tab for Workgroup settings. Make sure they
are consistent with your other PCs.
• If all computers are using the same protocol(s) and Workgroup name, and

• IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol should be installed on all computers.
