Internet Hook Up

Aug 31, 2004 6:17AM PDT

We are trying to get our daughters laptop hooked up to her college's internet connection.
I have purchased a Belkin "FAst Cat5e Networking Cable
(Ethernet Cable w/ a RJ45 male/male connector).
Is this what she needs to connect her computer to the faceplate to get the internet connection.
Thanks.

That's the usual hardware. I'll write yes.
