Configuring your home network
The basic configuration setup presumes that your VAIO® computer is set up to
work correctly with your type of telephone access and your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). Any method of connecting to the Internet provides access to all of
the linked computers.
Your VAIO computer connects to the phone lines in your home using a standard
telephone wall jack. Add each computer to the network individually, by plugging
each one into a separate wall jack.
Home network configuration
In a home network system, some peripheral equipment, such as a printer, can be
shared among all linked computers regardless of where it is attached. The data from
your peripheral equipment is also available to all linked computers on the home
network.
