An Ethernet cable is an Ethernet cable.

I know that but what Network option do you choose Cable?

[General Nick]

You mean what ISP or what option in Blockland we use?

It's hard to tell from your question, can you be specific?

We still do not understand what you mean.

[sir dooble]

im sorry but we cant actually understand what you mean. try to set out the question in a manner in which we can work in:e.g:

what you want
what you need
what you already have

we should be able to help you if you supply us with that information.

Ok, if you can join Blockland servers then you are obviously connected to the internet. From what you have you have explained, you have an Ethernet connection. I would assume that it goes to some sort of modem/router.

If you are planning on hosting games then you need forward ports from the modem/router to your computer. There is already a sticky thread in the help forum that describes what is needed to achieve this.

No there isn't, There's tons of differnt ways to define it. Perhaps he was asking should he go CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6. Although I'm sure that's not what he was asking.

[Ethan]

The connection should be LAN (local area network).

Without being technical, dryballs.

You don't forward ports on a modem. Only routers.
