Ethernet

If you are considering connecting two or more computers together so they can exchange information you will need to have an Ethernet connection, these are either a port built into your computer or are installed as cards in a slot in the back of your computer (also known as Network Interface Cards).

In home networks these typically connect to a nethub via cables or a wireless system. All the computers connecting to the network will need an Ethernet card or port, usually at the rear of the computers.

The Ethernet connection usually has the symbol shown to indicate it is an Ethernet connection.

Ethernet connection use a series of numbers to indicate the maximum amount of data they can handle per second (10/100TBase indicates it can transfer 10 megabytes per second maximum). You will need an Ethernet connection to connect to the client adapter that is installed as part of the W3Z Wireless BroadBand Service.
