This is a port on your computer that is used to connect to the DSL or Cable modem?

most computers come with 2 ports to connect to dsl or cable. The port that is small and is the size of your telephone cable is for the dsl, and the port that is beside it and larger and has 5 pins is for the cable connection. The cable modem has it pros and cons such as your access to the internet slows down at different times of the day and this is caused by too many people on your cable connection in your area(not your house members) and the dsl you have a fixed bandwidth that gives you the same amount of access and does not slow down.
hope this helps, need more just email
