Ethernet is a type of network, so in a way it's both. If you're looking at a computer which says it's Ethernet compatible or contains an Ethernet card, it's probably talking about hardware. These days, chances are that if you have a computer that hooks up to a network that isn't wireless, it's using Ethernet to do it.
