USB and Twisted Pair Eithernet use two totally different signaling methods. A simple cable with different plugs will not work. You need active electronics to translate between the two.

Something like this adapter may work for you:

Gee, I didn't notice the USB to Ethernet!

Obviously, cwwozniak is correct, it's not that simple. You need a USB connected Ethernet adapter.

I would hate to see it fade away in the depths of the archives, since JW NEVER makes mistakes!




JK, thanks for all of the help you give to the members here JW.

Sadly, it's not a first, I wish it were.
