15.Once Windows is done copying the necessary files, the System Settings Change window appears. Remove all disks from your computer and click on Yes to restart your PC. If you don't see this window, simply close down Windows 98 and restart your computer. The installation is complete. Remember to remove the installation disk from the floppy drive.

Look at the HomeLink Card's cable coupler. If your cabling is properly attached and the network is detected, the green Link light will be on, and the Activity (ACT) light will be flickering or solid.

16.Once the computer has restarted and Windows 98 has booted up, a Logon window will appear requiring you to enter a username and password. Make up a username and password, enter them, and click OK. Do not click the Cancel button, or you won't be able to log onto the network. If the a logon does not appear or if it does not allow you to log on, refer to the Troubleshooting section in the back of this guide.

17.Once you are at the Windows 98 desktop, double-click on the Network Neighborhood icon. You should see the name of the network, and/or the names of the other PCs on the network. In order to see your computer in Network Neighborhood, you need to enable file and printer sharing, which is covered on pages 20-22.

If you don't see anything at all, press the F5 key on your keyboard a few times to refresh the screen.

If you only see your computer in Network Neighborhood, skip to the Troubleshooting section.

If you see all computers on the network except yours, and the other PCs can't see your computer, see the Troubleshooting section.
