Choose a Network Configuration
The Symphony Composer will ask you a series of question to determine your
wireless network’s configuration.
The Symphony HomeRF adapters support the following configurations:
❑ A network sharing a DSL or cable modem using NAT
❑ A network sharing a dial-up modem using NAT
❑ A network that communicates with another network (e.g., an Ethernet
network) in Transparent Bridging mode
❑ A peer-to-peer network (no Internet sharing or no access to another
network)
If want to share Internet connectivity on your network (using a DSL, cable, or
dial-up modem), you must complete the Composer Wizard on the computer
that has the shared modem installed first. If prompted, enter the TCP/IP infor-
mation for the DSL or cable modem. This information should be available
from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). For a dial-up modem, enter your
ISP account information (telephone number, etc.) or select it from the list of
Microsoft dial-up networking accounts when prompted.
If you want to create a wireless network that communicates with another
network using Transparent Bridging, you must complete the Composer Wiz-
ard on the computer that has access to the other network first.
If you want to create a peer-to-peer network only, you can complete the
Composer Wizard on your computers in any order.
Note:
If you want to share an Internet connection from a Windows
2000 Professional computer, create a peer-to-peer network and
install Microsoft’s Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the
Windows 2000 computer.
