yup one end into a free port on your router and one end into the ethernet port on yoru computer, wait 5 or 10 seconds and it will grab an IP from your router and be connected to your ISP automatically.

I wanted to know, if I wanted to connect my Computer to the internet using a Ethernet cable, from the computer to the router, what would I have to do? is it just a case of connecting both ends of the cable, or is there some setting you have to carry out on the computer? Any help is appreciated. Kind regards Balal Hussain
