    Question DSL,Ethernet,NIC,Network Interface Card???

    Hi everyone, you guys have been so helpful with me, I have 2 questions to ask now lol,

    First question is:


    Where can I find out if I have an ethernet card installed on my computer? I have a Dell 2350 Desktop, and just got the box today to install on my computer to get DSL, we'll I did everything that the manual said to do but I still cannot get online through DSL So Im guessing that it could be that I don't have ethernet on. But I don't get it because the DSL box has everything working, it has the solid green light on the Power and SYS and also has a yellow solid light on the 100M Lan and a solid light on the DSL button. I just don't get it, we'll if anyone can help me with this, I will be very grateful

    Question 2...

    If I don't have the ethernet card network interface card installed on my pc, I would get it but I dont know which one would be the right one for me, which one should I get? I would get it online just to get it fast Thanks all

    click Start, right-click on My Computer, click on Properties, Device Manager, and look for the green Network Adaptors icon - click on the + and it tells you what you have; right click then click properties and you'll see options to enable and troubleshoot. Hope this helps.

    hi g, thanks for the help, i found out that i have an "ethernet controller" but with an exclamation point next to it, what could this mean? And Can I still be on DSL? thanks

    UPDATE:

    Sorry for the late update, just wanted to let everyone know that I got the DSL installed on my computer and its operating just fine. I needed to get an ethernet card anyway and I installed it on my PC. Thanks all for your help.
