no the rj-11 connection on the back of your laptop is part of the internal dial-up modem and therefore is a phone and is for connecting to a telephone line. it has six-wire conducters in it and is smaller than the lan wire which is called r45 which is an 8 conducter wire. they are not compatible they do not speak the same language. did you check and see if you have a port on the laptop that says t-10/100 ethernet? if you have an ethernet port that is how you would connect this computer to your home network.

You cannot connect an RJ11 cable to a RJ45 port. You can buy an external dial-up modem, though, that connects to a USB port. A link to where you can buy an external USB dial-up modem is below. http://www.amazon.com/Small-Compact-Lightweight-Modem-Connect/dp/B001C4EUFE

What is the difference between a LAN card and a Modem?
The difference between a Lan Card and a modem are this - A Lan card is a card that you slide into the side of a laptop and it can allow you the ability to get onto a network wirelessly.

A modem is a piece of hardware that is installed into a slot in the PC that will allow you the ability to get onto the internet by attaching a phone line to it through the RJ 11 jack (which it comes with 2 rj11 jacks on it) See the links below: LAN card http://www.socketcom.com/product/wlan.asp , Modem http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/m/modem.HTML
