NIC CARD ( NETWORK INTERFACE CARD)
1. A Network Interface Card is what communicates with the computer uses to communicate over a network. Sometimes a NIC (said "nick") is integrated into your computer's motherboard or as a slot card. Most computers will come with a NIC. If not, they are easy to find at Staples or OfficeMax for purchase.
2. 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port are the speeds that your NIC is able to work at. A NIC with this configuration can work at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
3. An RJ-45 denotes the type of connector that is compatible with the NIC. An RJ-45 connector looks like a big phone connector. Go look at your phone connector. That is what is called an RJ-11 connector. Now look at the socket the phone cord plugs into either the phone or the wall. An RJ-45 connector is twice as big. So if the connector on the back of your NIC looks like a big phone plug could fit into it, that's what you need.
