I can't plug my ethernet cable into my mobo's plug and expect to get internet, right?

I need an ethernet card?

I'm assembling my new computer, and I just thought of this now...so I'm gonna be pretty pissed if this doesn't work out.

My first instinct would that you need an ethernet card, or at least it would be significantly more convenient. But I'm not really sure, to be honest.
I was wrong.

To above, now that's helpful, rofl. "You need a jack that your plug will fit in."

I guess any RJ45 could theoretically work, now that I think of it.

although... some of the older boards only support 10Mb and 100Mb,,, so if you wanted Gigabit you would have to buy an extra card.... but it really isnt needed.

Depends what operating system he's running: the drivers probably won't work on linux, or Mac if he's running a hackintosh.

Hmm...

Vista says it doesn't detect any network hardware, and I don't see anything resembling drivers for anything like that in the disc the mobo came with it...T_T.

If you have another computer connected to the internet (which it seems you must ), go to the website of the manufacturer of your motherboard, find the drivers, and burn it on to a disc.
