Advancements in personal computer and telecommunications technologies have opened the door to home networking. This manual provides information on how to link your Sony VAIO® computers, using a Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) modem and HomePNA technology. Understanding HomePNA Technology The HomePNA standard uses frequency division multiplexing (FDM) to use the same phone line for voice and data transmission. This enables network access for any compatible HomePNA device that can be plugged into a phone jack (RJ-11) in your home. Benefits When your home computers are combined in a network, they can share Internet access and peripheral equipment such as scanners or printers. The following are some of the benefits of using HomePNA technology: No new wiring is required to get up and running. You can use existing phone lines already in your home. You do not need to install additional software on your home computers to create a network. You can use the Microsoft® Windows® Millennium Edition (Windows MeTM) operating system already installed on your VAIO computer(s) to configure your network. Your older computers can be included in your home network as easily as the newer models. If you use a dial-up method with the HomePNA modem, you are prompted to provide your user name and password. If you select the No option, you can restrict Internet access for the other linked computers until you manually connect to the Internet using your VAIO computer. Establishing Internet connection screen (Home Networking Wizard) 16 Linking Computers and Peripheral Devices 6 Click Next. From the wizard's Computer and workgroup names screen, establish a unique name for your computer and for the network group to which it belongs. The unique computer and workgroup names identify each computer on your home network. All computers on your home network must be assigned to the same workgroup. The default name for your Internet gateway computer is VAIO. If any other computer on your home network has the same name, neither computer is able to connect to the home network. If your computers are assigned to different workgroup names, they cannot be linked together on your home network.
