22440 2001-10-24 01:46:00 I have read articles about phone networking in homes. I have been to the HomePNA site and found a list of many manufacturers of cards for HomePNA networks. I can't find a NZ distributor.

Anyone actually done it?

22441 2001-10-24 07:23:00 No but i use simple Network at home. 2 NIC's one cross over cable, half an hour installing the two NIC's and half an hour under the house threading cable. $45+GST for each NIC, $1.20 +GST per meter for cable and $1 each endso a total of $110 + GST.

Piece of cake to do it.

If you don't, read all you can first, have a lok at this web site for a start:

www.epinions.com

Setting up can be a bit mind boggling if you aren't familiar with Network settings. But if you can read, you'll get there! Or ask here.

I have 2 PCs at home set up for file/printer/and internet connection sharing, using the Internet Connection Sharing software that comes with Windows 98SE.

It works perfectly except that it has created a so far unsolved shutdown problem !
