Home Networking with HomePNA

[Kenneth]

I'm a newbie here so forgive me if I'm asking wrong
questions at the wrong place.

I want to set up a home network with HPNA between my
desktop PC and a notebook and share one broadband
Internet connection, and am looking at Linksys products,
namely HPR200, PCM200HA and USB200HA.

Question is are these compatible with Windows XP? I
can't find this information on Linksys website nor can I
find it on the compatible hardware/software list.

Thanks for the help.

According to this web page, the HPRO200 is compatible with Windows 95,
98, 2000, XP, NT, and Me:

I can't find a mention of XP for the PCM200HA, but I downloaded the
driver for it from this page and found a "Winxp" folder in it:

I can't find a mention of XP for the USB200HA, but I downloaded the
driver for it from this page and found a "WINXP" folder in it:

The best way to find out would probably be to contact Linksys
directly.
