In a PC there is three pieces of hardware that could give you Network and/or internet connectivity.
In most modern computers, the motherboard contains an Ethernet connection, so no hardware installation would be required, except for of course the motherboard itself. You would however how to install the network drivers for the ethernet on the motherboard for it to work.
For motherboards without an Ethernet slot, you can buy a PCI or PCI-E network card, which contains an Ethernet port.
Lastly, you could get a PCI or PCI-E wireless card, which could give you a wireless internet connection.

∙ 15y agoFor the most basic type of network between two computers, all that is needed is an Ethernet cord.
For a network of more than two computers, an Ethernet hub and several Ethernet cords are required.
For a network that shares a highspeed internet connection, a modem needs to be connected to a router via Ethernet and then Ethernet cords can be used to connect various comptuers to the router.
Alternatively, if the computers involved support WiFi, a wireless router can be used.

∙ 11y agoAll networks are made up of basic hardware building blocks to interconnect network nodes, such as
- NICs
(Network Interface Cards) - A networks card, network adapter or NIC is a piece of computer hardware designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network. It provides physical access to a networks medium and provides a low-level
addressing system through the use of MAC address. It allows users to connect to each other by using cables or wirelessly.
- Bridges
- Switches
- Routers
- Hubs (not used very much)
There are also serial cable networks between 2 computers and also other architectures, such as token-ring
networks.
In enterprise setups you might find anything from dedicated firewalls to fiber optic transcievers,
ATM routers or wireless PTP antennas communicating up to 400 kilometers in range. You name it.

What does a handshake mean when talking about computers?
In simple terms, it is the establishment of communication between computers. People can establish communication through a handshake, so the term is based on that. For computers to communicate they first must establish a connection with each other. It is like when you make a phone call and the other person answers, at which point communication has been established. One computer sends a message to the other and the other responds, opening a connection between them and that is what we call a handshake.
