Easy. Get a netowrk card, pop it in PC, turn on. Windows will
automagically detect it. If on XP, run the Network Setup Wizard.

Sorry if this appears dumb ,but I had the impression that not all Mo Boards
have provisions for LAN card attachment.
Going by your advice I must be wrong .
Thanks

LAN cards are just PCI like many other devices therefore, if you have a
spare PCI slot on your motherboard, you can add a LAN card.

A lot of M/B now come with LAN cards built into them but if they don't or
if more are needed they can be added as stated before. Do you know for sure
whether your M/B has on board or not? If you have one you can enable or
disable it in BIOS or look for he RJ-45 LAN connector on the back that looks
like a large RJ-11 phone jack.
