Network (Home/Office) Connection
Select
Network (Home/Office)
in the Network Connections screen to generate
the “Network (Home/Office) Properties” screen. This screen displays a list of
the local network’s properties. The only modifications that can be made from
this screen are disabling the connection (by clicking
Disable
) or renaming the
connection (by entering a new name in the “Rule Name” text box).
Note:
When a network is disabled, its formerly underlying devices will not
be able to get the DHCP address from the network interface to which they
were connected.
The Network (Home/Office) connection is used to combine several network
devices under one virtual network. For example, a home/office network can be
created for Ethernet and other network devices.
