Ethernet Bridge?

georgiabrown

I have a Dell Home PC and no ethernet port. How can I hook up my VOIP SIP router to the computer? Do I need to installl ethernet capability or would you recommend using a bridge?
Thanks!

What sort of "bridge" do you have in mind?

If you don't have an ethernet port, then your only way for getting data in and out (at useful speeds) would be to use the USB ports. You can get a USB ethernet adapter for under €25, though I'd recommend you install an ethernet card instead. You can save about €15, and you're less likely to encounter driver conflicts.
