Also let us know what physical connections your network card has and what
physical connection you are using.  The most likely choices are:

1)	UTP: Unshielded Twisted Pair, typically an RJ45 modular jack
	CAT5: Shielded (I think) Twisted Pair, typically an RJ45 modular jack
	10BaseT
	100BaseTX, etc

2)	ThinNet: 50 Ohm coax cable with a BNC connection
	10Base2

3)	AUI:	Attachment Unit Interface, typically a DB15 with a slide latch
	ThickNet is a common nickname for this connection type
