Linksys Homelink Phoneline 10m USB Network adapter

Product Description
Connecting your home network has never been easier! Now Linksys offers instant connectivity to multiple PCs over your home's existing telephone lines. You can network any USB-equipped Windows 98 or 2000 computer by connecting it to any phone line - and there's no extra hardware to install. The HomeLink Phoneline USB Network Adapter allows you to instantly connect to a network from a USB-enabled PC, notebook PC, or even a USB hub. Connect a standard telephone cable into the adapter, install the included drivers, and go - you'll be networked in no time. The HomeLink Phoneline 10M USB Network Adapter is bus-powered! It draws power from the host PC and requires no external power cords. Compatibility with Windows 98 and 2000 makes it easy for almost anyone with a USB-ready PC to connect to a HomeLink network. Easy-to-read LEDs, compact design and ease of use make it a must for any home or office.

If you're looking for a quick, inexpensive, reliable alternative to wireless home networking without having to string cables all over your house, this is it. Plug 'n' play worked flawlessly via USB on both my laptop and desktop. The only con is that your computer that hosts your Internet connection must have the power "on" in order for your other computer(s) to connect to the Internet.
