Once you have the hardware installed you are ready to configure your network. The first configuration step is naming the PCs in the network. Before your computer can become part of a network, it has to have a name and a workgroup. Each computer in your home network needs to have a different name, and they all need to be in the same workgroup. Here's how you can name your PC and create a workgroup for different versions of Windows:

• Windows 98/ME
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
