How can i connect my desktop computer to the internet plz i need someone to help

Currently, the most common way to connect a desktop system to the internet, is by using the network jack to connect to a broadband cable modem or DSL modem. To do either you must have the service from either you cable provider or phone company (For DSL) and have the modem device for the service. Fees run $20 to $50 a month depending on speed you subscribe.
You connect the device to the system using a CAT5 network cable to a RJ45 (8 wire telephone type jack). Some Cable/DSL modems also have USB connection capability for the few systems these days that do not have a built in RJ45 connector To use them, you install the associated software, then connect the USB cable when prompted.
If you don't have Cable/DSL then dial up telephone modem is the next option, this requires a telephone modem that has an RJ11c telephone cord jack connection, most current computers only have a telephone modem as an option, but they can still be bought for around $20 and you will require a dial up internet service (Few remain, one is Netzero in the USA)

Depends on the hardware/software you have at the moment and as to whether you want broadband or dialup connection. Most people go for broadband thes days. So you would need to sign up to an ISP ( Internet Service Provider) like Sky, Virgin, Tiscali etc (there are many providers you pay your money and take your choice), Sky is good if you already have Sky TV....adds about £5-10 per month and you get the equipment fro free. The equipment supplied will be a router plus phone adapters (you need these to separate the phone from broadband usage).
You plug the PC (upto 4 PCs) into the router, and also the phone line cable...pop in the provided CD follow the instructions on screen and you should be up and running in no time... you will of course also need a power socket nearby....if the router is wireless (ala the sky one) then you could connect another PC (laptop perhaps) elsewhere in the house ..but thats another story.

Hello,
There are two ways on how you can do this. Either via wireless or wired connection. For wireless, you should a wireless router and the adapter. For the wired connection, you can just plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the network card on your desktop pc.
It would be best also if you can share other info regarding the problem.
