What is the difference between the Ethernet cable and the little card that slides into my laptop?

An Ethernet Cable is a 8 wires cable that connects to your computer with RJ-45 Plugs (a 8 pins plug). It is mostly used with standard, cable networks to establish communication between either your computer and another network component (router, hub, other computer) or an Internet Component (modem). A usual Ethernet Cable ranges from a 10Mbps transfer to over 100Mbps. Their maximum lenght is usually 328 feet or 100 meters, even though some special cables can be longer. That little carde you slide in your laptop is probably a wireless network adapter for laptops. It usually acts the exact same way as an Ethernet Cable and establish connection between different network components. The main advantage of a wireless network adapter is that you are not limited by the cable and it often looks nicer. The main drawbacks are that the transfer rates are a bit lower and your network security may be a bit weaker. If you have to choose between one or the other, it is better to go for an Ethernet cable if you need speed and reliability. If you need to move around a lot with your laptop, you should definetly go for a wireless network adapter (that little card.)


Can you hook up a laptop to a wireless network and have a desktop hooked into a wired broadband service in the same house Can you use separate Internet Service Providers?

yes, if the laptop is using a form of mobile broadband such as the one Verizon and at&t offer, with a "latptop connect card"....if you want an internet provider through the house lines for the laptop, AND a separate internet provider for the DESKTOP that wont work, because the internet provider is going to say "your house has one line coming in off our main box out on the street, so only one internet service provider at a time can get access to that line."
