After your network adapter has been installed, you must connect a 10Base-T cable from the Networking Outlet in your room to your computer. If your computer contains a modem and a network card, then you will need to make sure that you plug this cable into the network adapter. The modem card will have two smaller RJ-11 connectors and the network cable will not fit in these ports . It is easy to confuse a 10Base-T cable with a regular telephone cable. A regular telephone cable will NOT work in the place of a 10Base-T cable.
Ethernet cables can be somewhat fragile.
In order to ensure that you are not damaging your cable be sure NOT to place furniture or carpet on top of ethernet cables.
