about watis a USB port mebbe this will help
Click here
whereas for ETH it looks like this
Click here
USB is a long slotted hole and is thin and most prolly exactly below ur keyboard/mouse ports...
The ethernet port though is mostly option and looks like a big sized phone socket (RJ45)
Lol - Funny u dont know wat a USB is , do u ever see wires attached to ur comp ?
USB means Universal Serial Bus. its a popular port for PnP Devices...

The modem that is connected in your PCI slot is a Dial up modem ( 56kbps specifies the max speed ).
But it looks like your a bit confused .The USB and Ethernet ports are used to connect modems which can and are ONLY used in Broadband connections.

my dear friend .... i can give you a clear and proper solution. do it and and enjoy your surfing.
BSNL wil provide you an ethernet modem right. so you have to connect it to your ethernet port. as you are confused abt ur mobo that it hav nor not, buy one 10/100 mbps LAN CARD. plug it into your PCI slot. [i hope thatur using XP.. if so don't need to install drivers, it will take automatically]. Now connect your modem to you Lan card and start surfing..
i hope you will be satified with the solution.

Ofcourse you can do it yourself. I've done it myself. Actually i taught bsnl people here how to do it. I was the first to get connection here, and configured it myself. After some two days bsnl people called me and want me to configure it for another guy. They called me at their office and asked me to show them how to configure it. Its very simple.

how much will that 10/100 mbps LAN CARD cost me??? can u suggest me a particular company of whose to buy.
allrite as bsnl provides only one modem which i can plug either in usb port or in ethernet port and i have a usb port at the back of my cabinet.
so now suppose, i hav to connect it to my usb port, will i have to connect it using sumthing or i can directly insert it in the black usb port present at the back of my cabinet???
i'm now knowing that a device named splitter is used to connect an ADSL modem to the phone line. is it actually wall jack. will bsnl provide a splitter with the adsl modem or do i have to buy it separately. how much will it cost.
yes i use xp with sp2

Dude relax. You have a USB modem and a USB port. Just connect it using the cable which will be provided with the USB modem. And yes you need a cable. If the cable is not provided, which it should be, then please talk to the dealer from whom you got the modem.
As far as the splitter goes it will be provided by BSNL.

i'm talking abt the modem whihc bsnl provides in data1 connection.
so now wat i know is...
bsnl will provide an ADSL modem which can b connected using usb/ethernet port to my computer. and they will provide a splitter and a connection cable too.
if i'm wrong pls correct me.
will they provide all this even if i select that i will do the installation myself?
PS: dont get angry.

What is the purpose of a splitter.

He is confusing everyone. Ok, first of all you should know that the prerequsite for dataone.
1. A telephone line
2. A computer with usb or ethernet.
Thats all everything else will be provided by bsnl. This is the list which bsnl will give you.
1. ADSL Modem
2. ADSL Modem - LAN/USB Connector
3. ADSL Splitter
4. Splitter - Modem & Splitter - Telephone Connectors
You dont have to worry as you've already a pc with usb and a telphone line. everything else will be taken care off by bsnl.

splitter does nothing but splits a single telephone line into two so that you can connect to telephone and modem simultaneously. If ur using the connection to pc only, then there is no need of splitter.

i'm confused on only and only one point.
the point is that whether bsnl will provide the splitter and the connecting wire even if i select the option of doing the installation myself.
now i have no doubts on wat is splitter and allthat and how to do the installation. i can do it myself now.
pls clr the confusion above.

Thanks . I was wondering why does he require such a thing when he is going in for a Dataone connection

@godownman buddy when u get a dataone connection its very neccessary to have a splitter as it will only then allow u to use both internet and phone simultaneously.
@incredible when they give u ur modem simply ask for the splitter and required wires but i still say get it doen from them also if there u get always on dataone(some ppl use some kind of dialup for it) then od ask them about
ip address
default gateway
DNS server
If u have the dialup kind of dataone there then u may not require these.
