3. YOUR HOMEPLUG NETWORK IN PRACTICE
Now that your HomePlug network is installed, it's time to move on to some practical examples. In the
following chapters, we will show you how to share files, a printer, or let your friends share your ADSL
connection for online gaming.
3.1. A few prerequisites
- The procedures described in this chapter differ according to the operating system used. Be sure to refer to
the sections corresponding to your system.
- You have created a HomePlug network composed of one or more devices (computer(s), modem, router,
Internet "box", printer...).
- The Internet connection sharing procedures apply to computers or devices connected to your modem router
via a HomePlug network composed of Hercules ePlug adapters.
- To share an Internet connection, your router and your modem (ADSL Ethernet, cable or Internet "box") must
be connected to a Hercules ePlug adapter which is itself plugged into an electrical outlet, everything must be
powered on, and your Internet line must be active.
3.2. Identifying your HomePlug network type: Infrastructure or
Ad hoc
The HomePlug network type will depend on the type of hardware you have.
You are connecting Your mode is
One or more computers to an
ADSL modem router (or an
ADSL Ethernet modem
connected to a router)
Infrastructure, whereby the adapters are connected to your router.
Infrastructure mode is suited to exchanging data, network gaming,
and also sharing an Internet connection and/or a printer between
several computers. To find out how to install and configure your
modem router or your router, please refer to the manufacturer's
documentation.
One of your computers by cable
directly to an ADSL USB or
Ethernet modem
Ad hoc (also known as Peer to Peer or computer to computer),
whereby the computers are directly connected to one another, by
cable or via HomePlug, without a router. Ad hoc mode is suited to
exchanging data or network gaming between two computers.
3.3. Computers running Windows Vista: Sharing folders, a
printer or an ADSL connection
To create a network of computers, share data, a printer or an ADSL connection between computers
running Windows Vista, it is not imperative that the computers belong to the same workgroup. However, if
you wish to share between Windows Vista and an earlier operating system, make sure to define the same
workgroup on all computers. For information on how to create a workgroup, please refer to the manual of
your Hercules product.
Note: The access paths described hereafter may vary slightly if you have modified the default display in
Windows Vista (that is to say, the Start menu properties and the Control Panel display).
