Description Many families today have more than one computer at home. But they still have to share the printer and an Internet connection. And sneakernet running personal files between PCs on a floppy disk is inefficient at best, chaotic at worst. 3Com and Microsoft have co-developed the solution: an easy-to-set-up, easy-to-use home network with 3Com HomeConnect home network products and Microsoft HomeClick Network Software. The 3Com HomeConnect Home Network Ethernet Kit includes the hardware and software you need to get your home network started. So the PCs in your house may share the same printer and modem. Personal files go from one room to another with a mouse click. You can even surf different Web sites on different PCs at the same time with one Internet connection. Not only can you save money by sharing hardware you already have, you can also avoid a lot of family squabbles. Fast and reliable, Ethernet technology connects more than one million PCs today. An Ethernet network can move data within your network at speeds up to 100 million bits per second about 1500 times faster than an analog modem (so its great for multi-player gaming!). And 3Com is the leader in Ethernet connections. Chances are, there are 3Com products powering the network at your office. And although your home network will be smaller, itll be just as reliable and secure. The Home Network Ethernet Kit makes setting up your network easy. The cables, adapters, and hubs are simple to install and plug in. And when you want to add another PC to your network, just add another HomeConnect Ethernet adapter and an Ethernet cable. The software is easy, too. Microsoft HomeClick Network Software, which comes right in the same box makes setting up and controlling your network a snap.
