It just works!
(5 out of 5) by Kimbo Mundy on Dec 1, 1999 (Albuquerque, NM)Setup was easy on Win98 and WinNT 4.0 SP4. Performance is great for a home LAN, and the proxy works fine for sharing a cable modem. This package offered a lot of capability at a very low price.

Works great!
(5 out of 5) by mikefromseattle on Jan 28, 2000 (Seattle, Washington)I installed this on two computers in about 20 minutes, one running Windows 98 Second Edition and one running Windows 2000. Setup is easy, and the sharing software is simple to configure. Highly recommended!

I couldn't have been more disappointed
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 26, 2000Its network cards were a poor fit, each taking 5 times the normal time to install them in the machine. The LAN software only has email support, and it was slow and poor. Both machines were running Windows 98. Frequent reboots now plague both, clients often fail to find the server.
Most game programs seem to have problems using the connection. The only thing running with success are basic browsers.
Overall, a complete waste of money.

Linksys support is totally worthless!!
(1 out of 5) by Ray R. Kawal on Jun 21, 2001 (Sequim, Wa USA)I have a Linksys Homelink network system that has now been unusable for months. When I upgraded to Windows ME, the only problem I had was with the Linksys card. Neither phone support or email support has been able to fix the problem. Email support rarely returns any messages, and if they do, all they say is they are working on the problem. I have four computers and a laptop and all were working decently on the network before upgrading to ME - not good, just decently - but what is so discouraging is the lack of support. I will NEVER buy another Linksys product!

Networked Small Business with These
(4 out of 5) by Sires on Sep 14, 2001 (It's a Toss Up Right Now)Much to the chagrin of the local computer networking company who had hoped to completely rewire the old house we bought for our office for an ethernet network, these cards work fine. We are running a 733 with windows 98, 533 with 98, and a 200 with 95. I'm going to be adding two more computers in the near future and will report back on that. No significant problems although I had to pull all of the cards from one computer because the order they were inserted in was important-- I think the winmodem in that computer was using a resource that didn't show up in the control panel.
