Ethernet card?
Just received delivery of my High-Speed modem today. Instructions states
connect yellow wire to Ethernet Card. I don't got no card like dat! I found it on a Google search and it explained it but not so's I understand it. What is it, why do I need it? I thank you. |

I found it on a Google search and it explained it but not so's I understand it. What is it, why do I need it? I thank you. The two main ways to connect with the Internet are Dial-UP = phone line, and Ethernet = broadband cable or wireless. Most PCs for the last decade have had Ethernet built into the main board, identifiable by its rear-panel socket, like an oversize phone socket. You can buy a separate Ethernet card with the appropriate socket to connect your HS modem. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Ethernet card?
Just received delivery of my High-Speed modem today. Instructions states
connect yellow wire to Ethernet Card. I don't got no card like dat! if your computer is very old so it don't have any network connector built in directly, and don't allready have a network card (allso called "Ethernet Card", "NIC" or "LAN adaptor") you can buy a new network card. They don't cost very much (probably 1/4 of your new adsl/cable-modem), and you can install it yourself by open your computer and finding a unused pci slot. a small guide how to install it is on http://www.dur.ac.uk/its/services/ne..._network_card/ (if you instead have a laptop computer, you should just insert a pc-card network card into your pc-card slot. Back then when computers didn't have network connectors allready, they called pc-card "pcmcia") Chances are though that your computer allready have what you need, search on the back of your computer for a square-looking network jack... Here is an image of how a network card looks like: http://studynotes.net/images/network-card-led.jpg and the black squarish hole to the right of the two LEDs (that the image is describing) is what you are looking for.... What is it, why do I need it? I thank you. it is the computer hardware that handles network communications with other computers and other network equipment like a router/firewall and your new modem, so yes you need it. Your old 56kbit modem (or slower?) didn't need it because it was connected to an old slow 'serial port' instead. Hope this helps.... |

You're not ready for the internet. Nobody (who is running win-98 at this point) can be that stupid to not know what an ethernet interface / cable / card is. |

OK, I said I found that Google stuff and my question still remains, What is it, why do I need it? I read that entire page of technical jargon and understood little. My question was about Ethernet Card. What is that network stuff? Please explain! Don Phillipson, teebo and MEB took no offence and simply helped me by answering my questions. They were legitimate but I see now not to everyone. When I need w98 information I simply turn to this NG. I "think" I understand you and get your point. In the future to avoid your wrath I should send my question to you for censuring and "98 Guy" approval? OK, so I now have the answer (no thanks to you) and I was able to go to BestBuy this morning and purchase what I think I can use. If I have a problem maybe I will once more just post it here and prepare for your attack. I have many faults, one big one is that I do not know everything and I will not hesitate to ask for help when needed. The simple fact that I am on the Internet using a computer testifies that I understand, read and write English demonstrating some level of intelligence. It disavows your statement that I am "Stupid" or a Boob" for which I suggest you offer up a personal apology posted to me here on this thread. Some levity begets ridicule! You make me believe that you wish to demonstrate your superiority, as you jumped at the chance to attack me but you avoided answering the questions. How convenient! A forum for the world to see but only through the eyes of - 98 Guy? Slander is a "slippery slope" and your off handed statement never trumps my right to request a repudiation of that smear. Be aware that based upon the circumstances I am accomplished in blaspheme. The gauntlet is on the ground, pick it up and let the joust begin - to the death or your apology! This is the Internet, you can run but you can't hide. That's a conundrum! Sudy Nim |

OK, I said I found that Google stuff and my question still remains, What is it, What part of this did you not understand: "A network card, network adapter or NIC (network interface card) is a piece of computer hardware designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_card There is even a picture of the damn thing. why do I need it? Have you NEVER heard of something called a computer NETWORK? Are you not aware that for the past 20-odd years, that (personal) computers are able to send data and messages to each other over a NETWORK? My question was about Ethernet Card. What is that network stuff? Please explain! Your question makes as much sense as asking "What is a keyboard" or "what is this stuff called Monitor and Display". Don Phillipson, teebo and MEB took no offence and simply helped me by answering my questions. If they answered your questions, then why are you still asking me? (I'm sure MEB liked answering questions posed by a key-gen user!) When I need w98 information I simply turn to this NG. That's nice, but asking such a broad question (what is a network card) does not pertain in any way to Windows-98. In the future to avoid your wrath I should send my question to you for censuring and "98 Guy" approval? In the future, don't ask stupid questions. If you really did a google search for NETWORK CARD then I showed how a very basic (and understandable) answer was shown in the fourth result. Slander is a "slippery slope" Oh gawd, - another lawyer. Be aware that based upon the circumstances I am accomplished in blaspheme. No doubt you have a degree in Blaspheme from a community college. To my knowledge, I've never been considered a God before. So blaspheme away. The gauntlet is on the ground, pick it up and let the joust begin - to the death or your apology! Others have tried - and failed. You amuse me (for the moment). This is the Internet, you can run but you can't hide. That's a conundrum! No, that's a cliche. And you can hide. |

You can hide 98 Guy but we will find you and it is just a matter of time. If
you use the Internet then you can only try to hide for a while and then you will be found. MEB is right about you and now I am convinced you are another person who corrupted 98 Guy's name and we will find you. BTW, you never fully answered my questions and I am still awaiting your reply. LOL!! |
