Hooking up to the net??

[Shootothrill]

Ok so Do I need to have a modem in my pc in order to get on the net? I thought I could just connect my pc to the router to get connection. Like with my laptop I just hook the ethernet cable to it and it connects. Anyhelp would be super.

if you have a place to hook that ethernet cable up to you will be fine. It just needs to connect to the computer. This is done via an ethernet card.

I can use the onboard ethernet stoo right?

 

[Trizoy]

yup, just plug it in the the router via a ethernet cord. (not x-over or crossover cord)

I'm pretty sure you need a modem internally or externally to get online. Unless this is networking onto someone else's connection, you need a modem to access the net.

Most routers can be connected to clients via crossovers as well. They simply register that its a crossover and "change" it so it acts as a standard ethernet cable.

Good to know.
