Mac Mini Networking Question

[Afro1989]

Hello. I have a PC and am about to buy a Mac Mini also. They both need to be plugged into my router. Is the built-in 10/100BASE-T Ethernet which is built into the Mac Mini what I need to be able to plug into my router?

Also, does the cable come with the Mac Mini or do I have to buy it separately and what is it called?

Thanks so much!

Yes, the built-in Ethernet port should be all you need to hook up to your router. (Plus the cable of course )

The cable is an called Ethernet cable or patch cord. Sometimes it might be referred to as a CAT5 or CAT5e or RJ45 cable for the cable and connectors used respectively. I do not recall getting one with my iBook, so I doubt one is included with the mini.
