Ethernet

[Marius24]

Aparently my PC has Ethernet 10 BASE-T/100 BASE TX

i was wondering what it was and what it's used for

It's a card inside your PC for connecting to broadband. The majority of computers these days all have one.

Also used to setup a LAN (Local Area Network).

do you have high speed internet? if so then it is most likely hooked up through the ethernet card\port on motherboard.

I have ADSL which i hooked up though a USB modem

Have a look on the back of your modem to see if there is an ethernet slot unused. If there is it might be a good idea to switch from USB to ethernet. It is much more stable.

I've never seen any problems with stablity before on systems using USB for broadband. However I do agree with you, that if the modem has an ethernet hook up, he should switch it to ethernet instead. Mostly though, why use a USB connection when you can free that up and use the connection just made for it.
