Phoneline network.

I have no networking experience. I think I'd like to set up a home
phoneline network. After lurking several networking NGs, seems like
setting up one might be something rather complicated. I'm looking for
something that's as hassle free as possible. The easier the better. I
have 1 XP/home and 1 WinME.

Anyone have any experience with this item. If so, is it as simple as
advertised.

I don't have any experience with that particular product. I've found
that similar home phoneline network adapters from another manufacturer
give a somewhat unreliable network connection.

If your computers have standard Ethernet adapters, I'd consider
getting home powerline network adapters instead. I've found the
Netgear XE102 and Speedstream SS2502 to be totally reliable.
