A computer question I can actually answer. "D Link" is a name brand, like "Kellogg" or "Dell."

As to the second part, someone else can probably answer it in more detail than I can but here goes:

A network card is basically a card that allows your computer to communicate with other computers. It makes it so that you can share resources, files, hardware and internet connections with other computers on the network.

hmm.. does it alow "wireless" internet connection?

Your going to need a wireless router too. The router sends the internet signal and the card picks it up.

hmm I see.. so basically, that d-ling thing needs that router in order for me to be able to have wireless internet right?

And how much does that approximately cost?

thanks

Well Mighty Mac B, first off your gonna need a broadband connection. I remember you telling me the one day that you had dial up, which is a no-go. If you do have broadband, you connect the ethernet wire from your modem into the router. Then you need to hook up your wireless card to your PC. That should do the trick.

Well Depends ...... You can Get a Router For Around 120 Pounds to 300 Pounds ..

oh man, reading all those makes me confued real badly heh..

wish me luck

Steps you need to take (I'll have to use US dollars, so the prices will probably be off for you):

1. Get broadband connection. This will run you 30 to 50 USD a month.
2. Get a wireless router, network cards for your computers. Anywhere from 50 to 100 USD for the router and 30 to 80 USD for the cards.
3. Connect the modem to the router via ethernet (looks like a chunky phone cord), it will come with your modem and router
4. Get online, play.

1)whats a broadband connection?

2)I got that internet card, its the d-link network card right? , so all I need is a router?

3)ethernet? and wait a second, u confused me, connect the modem to the router? via ethernet? whoa... I think I need a facilitated definition of all those stated devices...

4)lets not dream too much
