| 437336 | 2006-03-11 04:21:00 | I don't know the differance, its shaped in a small retangle with a small lever on one side of it, if that makes any sense ?? | Tontoe (9961) | ||
| 437337 | 2006-03-11 04:27:00 | If it looks like a connection u plug into a phone, it sounds like ethernet. So, the computer you've got hasnt got a network card?? You can buy PCI network cards. Does the connection look like this? (www.dse.co.nz) |

| 437338 | 2006-03-11 04:32:00 | No, its longer and thinner than a phone connection or dialup connection, it only has the origanal card that is used for dialup only. IT does look like it would fit into the one you showed me. |

| 437339 | 2006-03-11 04:39:00 | So, its like this? (www.dse.co.nz) Which is a USB connection. In which case, you need something like this (www.dse.co.nz) You would also need a spare PCI slot inside the case. |
