SUMMARY
=======

You would like to connect MSN Companion to the Internet through a broadband
connection.

MORE INFORMATION
================

You must first purchase a "Universal Serial Bus (USB) to Ethernet adaptor" that
is compatible with the MSN Companion. (For a list of compatible devices see KB
Article Q.)

The MSN Companion can be added to a network several ways:

- As a stand alone device to a high-speed modem.

- As part of a Home Network using Home PNA or Ethernet Network.

To incorporate MSN Companion into a network, simply add the approved USB to
Ethernet adaptor to the device.
Note: You must have already completed Setup via Dial Up, and upgraded to Version
2.0.
MSN Companion will auto-detect the presence of the network and should begin
functioning accordingly.
