	RJ11 CONNECTOR
Helo people, My laptop only has RJ11 connector and i would like to hook it up on the LAN. Is there a way i can itelize the cat5 cables mainly terminated by RJ45 connectors to use this laptop?

Dear PETER, Your RJ11 connector is more then likely for a modem which only handles analog telephone lines and is not compatabile with LAN signals. If your laptop has USB ports, you can find a USB-LAN adapter like this one http://www.netgear.com/products/details/FA120.php or if you have a PCMICA card slot then something like this: http://www.dlink.com/products/category.asp?cid=4&sec=1 Sincerely, Joseph Golan, RCDD
