doody Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Dear usergroup My PC has a LAN adapter (0/B 10/00 Mbps LAN). Does this mean that the big phone socket thing on the back of my PC can be used to plug an ethernet cable in it, so that I can use an ADSL modem/router? It may sound silly but I'm just not taking any chances before I buy a modem. I appreciate any help. doody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yes, that's right. That's an RJ-45 connector. You would use CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 ethernet cable to connect it to the ADSL modem/router. The cable might even come with the modem but if not they're fairly cheap. See http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/HomeNet-ethernet.asp So, your setup would look like arctic described in https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...ndpost&p=203422 Computer/Ethernet card||----RJ45 ethernet cable----||modem/router||----RJ11 cable----||WallJack||-->Internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
