Is it true or false that Most computers today come with Ethernet adapters already installed?
Yes, they do. Some people use older computers that need it installed though.
Can you play xbox live with the power over ethernet adapters?
no
Will a Homeplug get me the same speeds as a standard Ethernet lead?
That will depend on which homeplug type adapters you use. Lots of adapters are rated at 85Mbps which is slower than the 100Mbps that is most common with standard ethernet connections. Some homeplug adapters, however, support up to 200Mbps allowing them to actually be faster in between the adapters than the rest of the 100Mpbs network. You'll just need to pay attention to what speed the adapters are rated for.
What connector type would you use to connect to the Internet?
An ethernet cable. Or wireless adapters.
What is ethernet adapter used for?
An Ethernet adapter is used for connecting two electronic devices together to share information. Ethernet Adapters allow one computer to receive the same information from another computer.
How can you connect 2 xbox360s to your router?
You can use 2 different Ethernet cords or 2 wireless adapters.
How often do Ethernet adapters and hubs or switches exchange link pulse signals?
When an Ethernet adapter and a hub are properly connected, they exchange link pulse signals every 16.8 milliseconds to test the connection.
What is the main function of an Ethernet external hard drive?

Is it difficult to install a wireless Ethernet adapter?
Wireless ethernet adapters are very easy to install, being plug and play. Simply insert the adapter in the provided slot on the computer and update or install the necessary drivers.
What if there are no mac addresses and all adapters use ip addresses?
Ethernet devices are identified by their MAC address, not an IP address. If their were no MAC address incorporated into the device then it is not following the rules define for the ethernet protocol. It would not be an ethernet network adapter or it would be a defective ethernet network adapter. As the LANs are designed for arbitrary network layer protocols, not just IP, so if the adapters are assigned with IP addresses rather than MAC addresses, than it will be difficult for adapters to support other network layers. Even if the adapters use entire network layer addressing schemes, they will need to be reconfigured every time they are powered up. So it is imperative to use neutral MAC address independent of network layer addressing schemes in order to ensure better performance of network.
Do you need a driver for wired Ethernet adaptor in Ubuntu?
No. Ubuntu includes kernel modules for most Ethernet adapters. And since Ubuntu tends to be cutting edge, if it does not have a module for a particular device, one is unlikely to exist elsewhere.
Where can one buy a USB Ethernet adapter?
It has been found that USB Ethernet adapters are widely available. One can purchase these adapters at stores such as Best Buy, Walmart and Tiger Direct. These are also widely available online from sites such as Amazon and eBay.
