It shouldn't matter which port you use unless it involves a network switch.

Why is it that when I am connected to the internet my localhost does not connect?
The localhost is the loopback network interface. Every machine uses the exact same address, 127.0.0.1, but that address is completely private to your machine. Even your local area network cannot access it, never mind the Internet. The localhost essentially allows you to refer to your own machine, permitting access to its own servers (such as http://127.0.0.1 or ftp://127.0.0.1) just as if the request had actually come from another machine on the network. Even completely standalone machines have a localhost. Your machine may have one or more additional IP addresses, depending on the number of network interfaces available. Most home computer systems use a router to connect to the Internet and every machine connected to it forms a local area network (LAN). Typically the router's LAN IP address will be in one of three ranges where the first octet is: 1-126 (class A), 128-191 (class B) or 192-223 (class C). Most home networks use class C addresses where the first three octets identify the subnet (such as 192.168.0) and the last octet identifies the machine (1 to 254). The router is typically assigned the first IP address, such as 192.168.0.1, and this is the gateway to the Internet. LAN addresses are not accessible from outwith the LAN -- they are private to the LAN (just as localhost is private to the machine). The router also has an outward facing IP address that is assigned to it by your ISP. This is the only address that is visible to the Internet. The router ensures that traffic from the LAN to the Internet is made to appear as though it originated from the router via network address translation (NAT). Basically, whenever you instigate an Internet request, the router receives the request and stores it in a table along with your LAN address. The router then modifies the request (changing the port or adding additional information to the request) in order make it unique to you, swaps your LAN address for your ISP address and completes the call. When a response is received, the router looks up the table for a matching entry, swaps the ISP address for your local address and forwards the call to your machine. This gives the impression your machine is directly connected to the Internet, but it is not. The Internet is connected to your router and nothing else.
Does your computer need to be connected to a LAN to view an HTML document on a website?
Your computer must be connected to the internet to view an HTML document that is located on a website. Whether that connection is through a local area network (LAN) or not. If you normally connect to the web via the LAN, then yes, you'll need to be connected to the LAN. If instead you run an adhoc network, use a direct connection to infrastructure (like a router) or a modem, then you need that connection to reach the web.
How can you connect a PC and laptop without a LAN card?
I can only think of two ways you can connect two computers if they don't have network cards: 1. Use a serial cable. All computers have serial ports, so this would be the easiest solution, though it will be a little slow. Look up directions online on how to do this. 2. If both computers have an IR (infra-red) port you can use that to connect the two. More input from FAQ Farmers: * or you can do it with a usb cable thingy, see it is like $5.00 and it works great if both have usb ports. by parallel cable by usb cable For newer macbooks hold down the t key to make it a drive then connect it to the desktop You can also buy ethernet / usb connectors. Pretty much its a wire with USB on one end and ethernet on the other. You just plug the USB side into your computer and now you have a ethernet port.
How can I connect fiber optic to wireless router?
You need to have a special converter or modem which is made for fiber optic networks. Usually such modems have a lan port for wireless routers or network switches.
How do you hook up a wireless router to Time Warner cable road runner internet?
You need to have LAN cable CAT5 at least. There is a lan port located on the modem. Using the cable connect the port with the port located on the router. The port on the router should a label (WAN, Internet and so on) stating that it's devoted for internet.
How do you hook up a cable modem to a wireless router to a ps3 ethernet with out interfering with the wireless in my laptop?
If you connect your modem to the router, and then using one of LAN port (router's) connect the PS3 to the router, you will not interfere with wireless signal at all.
How do you simultaneosly connect two computers to internet using a router and broadband modem?
Plug the two computers in to the router, and connect the router to the modem.The router may have two kinds of ports, one port marked WAN (Wide Area Network) and several ports marked LAN (Local Area Network). If so, the WAN port goes to the modem and the LAN ports are for your computers.That's it.
How do you enable a LAN connection between two DHCP routers?
One of the routers you have to connect to internet, another one you have to connect to the first one using a lan cable. You can use any of lan ports of the first router to connect the second one (except internet port, usually it's marked as WAN or similar to). The lan cable should be connected to the WAN port on the second one. Only in such case it works properly.
What is a cascaded router and why would would it be used for?
A cascaded router because is a router connected to another router. As far as I know, there's two ways you can connect two routers together. One is from a LAN port to the WAN port of the other router and the other is LAN port to LAN port. LAN to WAN is useful for things such as network segmenting, say that you want the LAN of the first router not to be able to see the LAN of the second router. That can work. Whereas with the second way, the second router pretty much becomes a switch and you can have access to devices on both networks without the need for port forwarding. Consider it acting as a swithc with a IP address pretty much. However in this method you have to make sure the LAN IP of the second router is within the same subnet as the first in order for this to work. So let me give you a example of how it can be setup: LAN to WAN: Router A WAN IP: Issued from ISP (Usually through DHCP) LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router B WAN IP: Issued from the DHCP server of the first router or can be statically set to be a address within the first routers LAN LAN IP: 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Note: With this method, computers on Router B can connect to devices on Router (including the router itself) but not vice versa. Also...you cannot access computers via NetBIOS names (computer names) in this setup. You have to access them by their client LAN IP LAN to LAN Router A WAN IP : Issued from ISP (Usually through DHCP) LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router B WAN IP: Not used since nothing is connected to the WAN port LAN IP: 192.168.1.254 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Hope this helps you out. :)
How can you connect a computer wirelessly to a non-wireless modem?
You need to have a wireless router compatible with your wireless adapter and LAN cable of CAT-5 at least. Use the cable to connect the modem and the router, use WAN port of the router. After that configure the router for your needs. And you are ready to go.
