Default XPWizard Doesn't Find Adapter

Hi,
I am trying to set up a Diamond Homefree USB HPNA
network between two computers running XP Home.
I thought I had all my research done, but stumbled when
the networking wizard only finds an unused, built in INTEL NIC.

In control pannel/system/device,,,,,the Diamond shows up with
no yellow exclamation marks, and says, "this device is working
properly" The drivers installed with no problem.

What can I do to get the wizard to recognize or find the HomeFree Phoneline
USB adapter? Or should I try to install ICS with the dialup without
the wizard?

Thanks!
Tom

Does the Network Connections folder show a connection for the Diamond
Homefree HPNA adapter? If so, it's installed properly. If not, go to
Device Manager, un-install it, and re-install it.

Have both computers up and running, with their HPNA adapters connected
to the phone line when you try to make network settings.

You don't need to use the networking wizard. Setting up ICS manually
is fine.
