I have a PC running WinXP Pro with a cable modem connected.  I want to
network this computer with my Win98SE laptop for internet sharing purposes.
My ISP requires me to get a seperate IP address for extra computers using
the cable connection.  HPNA would be the best choice for my situation as
there are at least 2 phone outlets in every room where anyone would be using
the laptop.

To set this up, can I just use 2 USB-to-HPNA connectors like the Netgear
ones, or will I need a router or bridge in between?  I am not concerned with
using the internet while the XP computer is turned off.

Thanks.
