    I hope to have NTL Broadband shortly, so I'm looking for an Ethernet card, saw this one at Marx for €13


    "Fast Ethernet 10/100
    PCI Networkcard, 10/100Mbps
    supports Full-Duplex mode and Wake-on-LAN
    Complying with ACPI specifications
    Windows 3xx, 9x, NT, 2000
    Novell NetWare, SCO Unix, Linux"

    Will this do the job?? I'm running Win 98se on a P2.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Looks perfect to me. Even a 10mbit card would do, but this one seems to be compatible with most OS's so its a good choice

    yes however be careful.. i dont know what the new system uses but when my friend was testing it the reason the network card was needed was to connect to a cable modem and that was using a BNC (Coax) connection! not RJ45!

    So be careful and check what the cable modem needs.. if in doubt get a combo card!

    No it does not have a BNC (Coax) cable.. so make sure the cable modem you have does not need one.. any i have seen do!

    oh hang on doing an EDIT here.. those specs are they actually for the cable modem? If so then yes thats fine... sorry thought you were on about the network card again. Anyway yeah if its the cable modem you are refering to then its fine
