I attempted to connect my aDSL external modem from Earthlink to my Inspiron 1100. There was no place that the connection cord from the modem to the computer would fit. The Earthlink Tech said that means that I do not have an Ethernet card on the Inspiron. I do have an Integrated 10/100 Integrated Network Card on the Inspiron. Is that the same item as an Ethernet card? If so, am I supposed to purchase a plastic adaptor to make the phone wire from the aDSL external modem plug into this Inspiron 1100. I thought that I was "intermediate" in my computer skills. Now, I'm "busted" back to "novice," I suppose.
You do have an ethernet card. The phonline plugs into the ADSL modem, then the ethernet port on the ADSL modem goes to your ethernet port. You would need an 8-wire Cat5 ethernet cable to accomplish that. The ASDL modem may have come with one.

Unfortunately they are not there. Get the 3Com card - Dell PN 313-7776. If Dell is out of stock, look for the 3Com 3CN3AC1556B by Googling.

Hi, Dell Users,
I attempted to connect my aDSL external modem from Earthlink to my Inspiron 1100. There was no place that the connection cord from the modem to the computer would fit. The Earthlink Tech said that means that I do not have an Ethernet card on the Inspiron. I do have an Integrated 10/100 Integrated Network Card on the Inspiron. Is that the same item as an Ethernet card? If so, am I supposed to purchase a plastic adaptor to make the phone wire from the aDSL external modem plug into this Inspiron 1100. I thought that I was "intermediate" in my computer skills. Now, I'm "busted" back to "novice," I suppose.
Thanks for any help anybody can give.
