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.
