Hi Andy, I presume the Network Card shows up in Device Manager? If it does, then there has to be an RJ45 port somewhere. As you probably know, it is slightly bigger than the RJll telephone port. Tricky to try and describe when I don't know the precise make and model of the PC, but a desk top will usually have two or more slots covered by blanking plates at the back and running top to bottom so to speak. Most of the on-board connections to the actual motherboard, that is sound, keyboard, etc., will usually be along the bottom inch or so of the back of the case. If you know the make and model of the PC, I may be able to locate a picture and describe things better to you. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Collins Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 12:13 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Ethernet Hi George - Where do I check for this PCI card? This machine is 5 years old, and I'm as sure as sure can be, that there is only the equivalent of an rj11 on it. I had somebody look at the back just to see if I'd missed anything, but he said not, not that the rj11 actually had rj11 written against it, but it was the input when I was using the builtin 56k modem! I'm now on broadband, using a Binatone ADSL router supplied by Plusnet, my ISP; it has a fixed cable for the phone socket, and a single USB connection to my PC. There are no other sockets on it! What else can I tell you? Any thoughts? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 11:11 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Ethernet | Hi Andy, | | O.K. this comes in a variety of flavours. | | By the sound of it, I presume you have a physically separate | PCI card installed in your machine.
