How to tell if your computer has Ethernet capability:
- Check the back of your computer:
An Ethernet connector looks very similar to a phone jack. But it's a little wider, and inside there are eight tiny
parallel wires instead of the two or four found in a dialup modem.
- Check Device Manager in Windows:
- In Windows XP, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the
Hardware tab, click the Device Manager button. (If you don't see My Computer, open Control Panel, then open the System icon.)
In the list of devices, open the Network Adapters category by clicking the + symbol
to the left of the item. An Ethernet adapter should be listed below if it is physically
present in your computer. Right-click and click Properties to ensure it is enabled and
working properly.
- Control Panel should also indicate a Local Area Network, under Network
Connections
