What is the difference between connecting my computer using Ethernet and direct connect USB?
Your system supports four different network connection types: Ethernet, direct connect USB, HomePNA, and 802.11b Wireless (if you have a wireless model system). You can connect to your network using any of these connection types. To connect using Ethernet, you will have to have an Ethernet network adapter installed in your computer and an Ethernet cable that is long enough to connect your computer to your system. To connect using the direct connect USB method, you will need to have a USB cable (a six foot, light gray USB is provided with your system), the System Setup CD, and a computer with an open USB port, running Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP. Note Windows 95, NT, and Macintosh computers are not supported for direct connect USB.
