You should choose a LAN card of the specific slot type your motherboard has. Beyond that, there shouldn't be any real restriction. Most motherboards have LAN functionality built-in these days.

ok thank you so much and what about the modem is there an specific mother board for that ?

kangaroo

Ahh, a modem is quite different because there are so many different standards. Some motherboards had a 56k modem built into them but we're obviously a long way past that now. Most people seem to connect wirelessly (or directly wired from a router) so built-in LAN is suitable.

The other alternative is USB (which is what I do).

so why do i need to used that if we had a lot of usb right now?

You shouldn't really need it. If you've got it, it's because of backwards compatibility, but very few countries still use narrowband as opposed to broadband DSL.

you sure?
