VIA is the brand name of the PCI card, or brand of it's chipset. If you are on broadband this is how you connect to the net, or network your computers. Your non USB external DSL and cable modems use this connection. If you are on dialup this is how you would network your computers together. If you don't have a cable hooked up to it, then it's obviously not being used, but you should still fix the yellow mark since that can affect the computer overall. Its jack is going to look like a large phone line connector, technically called an RJ45 jack usually with CAT5 cable.
FYI, these are also called NIC's (Network Interface Card), networking card, or network adapter. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "knightwriter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've been checking different things on my computer. I should have asked this long ago. What is a via PCI 10/100M fast Ethernet Adaptor? I noticed the driver was not installed for it and honestly I don't know what this is or does.
