A lot of M/B now come with LAN cards built into them but if they don't or
if more are needed they can be added as stated before. Do you know for sure
whether your M/B has on board or not? If you have one you can enable or
disable it in BIOS or look for he RJ-45 LAN connector on the back that looks
like a large RJ-11 phone jack.
