Hopefully this will tell me what I need to know. Does this answer your
question? Will this work with the router (Netgear MR814 802.11b Cable/DSL
Wireless Router) I ordered? I can see that this is gonna be one heck of a
learning experience, LOL!
BTW, I looked up Pringle Can. I was overwhelmed...man, I can see I have led
a sheltered life. Simply fascinating.
Thanks again for your help,
Sammi

RESPONSE
Yes it seems at one time it was networked. The NIC card (What you call the
Ethernet card) will work if you decide to go with cables and not wireless.
*****************************
Do you know if the NIC cards
you have are 10/100 Ethernet cards? Do the cards have the manufacture
printed on them some where? If not, go to Belarc
http://www.peripheral.com/support/downloads/default.htm and d/l their
program (on all puters) and run it. It will tell you everything that is in
your puter(s).
