Ethernet Cable is slightly bigger than the phone line jack.
If you don't know how to buy, go to market and ask for Ethernet cable. After that you plug it into the Ethernet port. If it exactly fits in then you bought right if not it is Phone line jack/cable.
if you have both take a close measurement Ethernet is slightly bigger.
Let's get a few terms straight:
We have Jacks, Plugs, Cables, and the things that run on them (Standards). I'll capitalize these terms in the answer.
Jacks accept Plugs. Cables connect Jacks to Jacks, or Plugs to Plugs. Standards run on top of all of these, and aren't tied to any particular cable or jack/plug.
Most commonly, the Standard called Ethernet runs on CAT5 Cable with RJ45 Jacks/Plugs. Analogous to this is the phone lines - the Standard called phone service runs on telephone Cable with RJ11 Jacks/Plugs.
The RJ plugs are called modular plugs. They look and work similarly but differ where it matters - the number of connectors. It's highly unfortunate that a RJ11 plug fits into a RJ45 jack...
*RJ11 (for the telephone) has only two connectors - the little metal bits on the Plug form a circuit that allows your voice to travel to the phone company, and your friend's voice to travel to you.
*RJ45 (for Ethernet) has 8 connectors. The wires inside the Cable is called twisted-pair, and it helps eliminate interference called crosstalk. There's 4 pairs of wire in there, wrapped around each other.
So, long story short, Ethernet (and it's jacks, plugs, and cables) will not work with the telephone system (with it's jacks, plugs, and cables) because they expect different numbers of wires, and different types of information flowing over those wires.

False
RJ45 was designed for LAN connection only. For modem lines you need RJ11. Thus the answer is NO.
No, RJ45 is only used for ethernet connections and can be used between your computer and any networked device, such as a cable modem or a network hub.
Just connect the Ethernet cable (RJ-45 crossover) to the laptop .Then you will get the connection.
Either connect via a wireless network, connect through a 3G network or connect your laptop with an ethernet cable.
You have two basic options. 1.You can connect your laptop to your cable, fibre optic, or DSL modem or Ethernet port using an Ethernet cord. 2. You can connect your cable, fibre optic, or DSL modem or Ethernet port to a wireless router using a Ethernet cable. You then connect your laptop using wireless to your wireless router.
You connect an old laptop to broadband just like a new laptop, using the Ethernet port. If the computer doesn't have an Ethernet port, then you will have to purchase an adapter.
If you ever plan to connect your laptop to a wired network, you will need an ethernet adapter. If you never plan to plug it in to a network or if you will always use wireless, an ethernet adapter is not necessary.
ethernet cables are used to connect many items. Such as:Printer to computer,Ps3 to laptop,ps3 to router
push them together until they fit
Step 1. Unplug ethernet wire from desktop computer. Step 2. Plug the ethernet wire you just removed into your laptop's ethernet port. Step 3. When finished browsing the internet or when portability is desired, disconnect the ethernet cable from laptop and return to the port on the desktop.
Through either its wireless connection or through a ethernet port.
