Which type of address is used in Ethernet to direct data to a specific computer through a hub?
Really depends if the hub is connected to a modem and an active ISP then it would be a public IP address from the ISP. If your hub is connected to a router, then it would be a private IP address provided by the router. There are different types of hub, I can post the link for you the varieties. If only computers are connected to the hub, then no ip address.

How does a laptop computer connect to the internet?
Through either its wireless connection or through a ethernet port.
Describe the difference between connecting a computer to a dsl modem and connecting a computer to a dsl modem via usb.?
Ethernet is more reliable. USB speed depends on your CPU's load at the time, so if you are running a lot of programs at the same time, the available speed for USB ports is decreased, resulting in a slower connection. Connect with ethernet if possible. USB would be helpful though if you want to share your connection with, say, another computer of a gaming console through your ethernet. You could connect through USB and share through ethernet. But if you are just trying to connect to the internet with solely one computer, use ethernet.
How can I go online using my computer?
To go online using your computer, you need to have an internet connection. You can connect to the internet through Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable. Once connected, open a web browser like Google Chrome or Safari and type in a website address or search term in the address bar to access the internet.

You cant connect to Xbox Live through your PC. You will need to connect straight into your modem, or either use a Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless adapter to connect through your wireless network.
Why router needs mac address?
the tcp/ip frame uses the ip address to send messages between devices (computers, printers, etc) on your network. This frame is inside an ethernet frame on the network layer. The ethernet layer does not use ip addresses at all, they use mac addresses. For an ethernet frame to travel through a router, it needs a mac address. Your router actually does not need an ip address. It will respond to broadcasts. In fact sometimes it won't answer to tcp/ip requests. Its job is to deliver the datagram to its destination more than it is to answer you (your computer that is). So sometimes a router will not answer a ping, but a computer on the other side of the router will answer even if there are several router in the path.
Is there a way to dial into a remote computer from a broadband ethernet connection?
Yes, through VPN Virtual Private Network.
What is layer 2 switching?
This refers to switching at layer 2 of the OSI reference model, for example, Ethernet. A switch looks at the MAC address of each Ethernet frame ("packet", you might say, but at this level the correct name is "frame"), and if it knows that this MAC address is connected at a certain port, the switch will send the information out ONLY through that port.This refers to switching at layer 2 of the OSI reference model, for example, Ethernet.

Should one believe ATT DSL installation software manual when it says that a Ethernet adapter needs to be installed in a computer from 2002.?
In order to connect to the DSL modem we need to have an operational Ethernet port on the computer. That is what the user guide is referring to. Earlier data connections (dial up) on phone line modems did not require an Ethernet port. All DSL modems now transfer data to computer through an Ethernet port (wired or wireless).
A certain computer on your fast ethernet network seems to be acting sluggish?
c: By modifying the NIC properties through the operating system.
Describe the difference between connecting a computer to a dsl modem via Ethernet and connecting a computer to a dsl modem via usb do you have an opinion on which connection type is the most reliable?
Connecting Internet throgh DSL Modem by using Ethernet port is the most rreliable & trusted way to get the best performance on a computer. Using DSL through USB makes system slow & doesn't provide the best of the available bandwidth. Moreover Through Ethernet DSL Modem can enable access to multiple computers by using a network switch.
Find Mac address for apple computer?
Two simple ways: 1. Using System Preferences: * Open System Preferences * Click "Network" * Select the interface from the list (e.g. "Ethernet" or "AirPort") * Click "Advanced" * Look through the tabs; one will contain the mac address. (If you're looking for the Ethernet interface, it will be under the "Ethernet" tab; if you're looking for Airport, the address is under the "AirPort" tab) 2. Using Terminal: * Open Terminal * Type "ifconfig" (without the quotes) and hit enter * Look through the list until you see the correct interface. The mac address wil be in that section (it will say something like "ether 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc") * Alternatively, you can enter "ifconfig <interface>" to only view that interface. Ethernet is usually en0 and AirPort usually en1 (but not always). For example, type "ifconfig en1" to view the AirPort's configuration.
I want to know of somewhere I can get an Ethernet splitter. I have a PS3 and computer that I want to run through the Ethernet cord but my dsl box only has one Ethernet slot. Any ideas apart frm router?
