Topic 6. Sharing Internet Access

So how can the Internet connection be shared among other computers on the HomePlug network?

Since neither the HomePlug Bridge nor USB Adapter are capable of routing at this time, a router is neces- sary in order to share an Internet connection. Future versions of the HomePlug Bridge or USB Adapter may feature built-in routing capabilities.

The following items are required for successfully sharing the Internet connection:

One (1) Router

One (1) HomePlug Bridge

One (1) DSL/Cable Modem

Active ISP Service for the DSL/Cable Modem CAT5 Cables

Also all computers that share the Internet connection must be connected to a HomePlug to USB Adapter or a HomePlug Bridge.
