Note: In a HomePortal network, only one Windows 98, 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP computer can be directly connected to the HomePortal residential gateway using the USB connection. Additional computers may be added to the network using connection options such as Ethernet.
HomePortal USB connectivity is NOT available for Macintosh, Windows 95, Windows 95 OSR2, or Windows NT.

2.Connect the provided USB cable from the PC port on the HomePortal to your computer’s USB port.
3.Connect the provided telephone cable from the PHONE LINE port on the HomePortal to a telephone jack with DSL service.
This connects the HomePortal internal DSL modem to your DSL service provider and sets up your home network for home phoneline (HomePNA) networking. If you have been using an external DSL modem, you will no longer need it.
