When a serial port is used by an external modem the serial port is called the?
In the past external modems connected to the COM (or serial) port. However, most modern external hardware is USB these days, modems are no exception.
Suppose you have a computer with its Ethernet port used for a service other that internet. There is no way to combine services to the same router. how can this computer gain access to internet?
The easiest way to solve this problem: use a wireless connection. Many recent computers include a wireless NIC (network interface card), and can connect to wireless networks easily, leaving the Ethernet port free. This will only work, obviously, if this computer has a wireless card and there is a wireless network to connect to.If wireless is not an option, purchasing an additional Ethernet card will upgrade the computer to owning two Ethernet ports. One port can be used for the Internet, the other for this external service.
What two ports are most often used to connect an external modem to a PC?
Serial and USB ports are most often used to connect an external modem to a PC.

In a computer lab some computers with Ethernet nics are connected to an Ethernet hub by cat-5 cables and some computers have an 802.11 network card there is an 802.11 access point which is also co?
I think I can answer your question -- once you ask it. 802.11 is a wireless ethernet protocol, there are currently 3 subtypes; a, b and g. In order to have any computers or laptops connected to the same network, the wireless access point would need to be plugged into the ethernet hub. Unless the wireless network is subnetted, i.e. the wireless access point provides the IP addresses for its client computers, the WAN port on the wireless access point may not be used. The AP may be connected in client mode, i.e. connected via a LAN port and not the WAN port, bypassing the internal router, if one exists on your model AP. This allows the wirelessly connected computers to get their IP addresses from the network DHCP server. Perhaps this may already have answered your question(s)!
Which port is typically used for external wireless NICs?
Universal Bus
Which ieee standard enables a wireless nic to connect to a wireless ap that is made by a different manufacturer?
NICs do not connect to applications, rather they connect to other wireless devices. IEEE 802.1 is the standard used to connect wireless NICs to other network devices.
What port can be used for an external pointing device?
Usb port

Where do the NICs belong?
Network Interface Cards (NICs) belong inside a computer or network device, typically in one of the expansion slots on the motherboard or integrated directly onto the motherboard. They are used to connect the device to a network, allowing data transmission over wired or wireless connections.
Is a serial port typically used to connect an external modern?
Yes.
Is a computer port used to communicating with all harddrives?
Depends what you mean by "port", but that word is more often used for external connections that internal ones, so in that case ports are used for external hard drives but not internal ones.
When using a wireless mouse what is the most common port used for the transmitter?
The USB port, unless it is a Bluetooth mouse, then there is no port, it will connect via Bluetooth.
What is used to house and protect a eSATA external port?
A protective hard drive dock.
Can a wireless mouse be used on ordinary keyboards?
A wireless mouse requires (typically) a USB port for the receiver. As long as your computer has an open USB port and the drivers to support the device, it doesn't matter what type of keyboard is attached to your computer.
What do some older motherboards provide and often used for external modem?
Using the com port
