A router splits branches the ethernet connection to the outside world. It basically connects the LAN w/ the Internet.

so Ethernet card is for sharing files...router is for sharing bandwidth?

 

[notfred]

Ethernet is a network protocol. A router is a little box that directs network traffic.

well, kinda. A router is to share the internet, yes.. but obviously you're going to have to have a network card to be able to plug into the router. And you'll still be able to share files on the LAN.

Ethernet is the name of the cabling.

ethernet card =/= network card?

How do you have that many posts, yet not know what "Ethernet" is?

Whenever you're talking about networking, you're talking about using ethernet cabling(unless it's wireless).

Picture to help visualize

Every computer has a network card, ethernet card, LAN card, network interface card, NIC, whatever you want to call it.. installed, and a piece of ethernet cabling leading to the router.

Ethernet is the most widely used local area network (LAN) technology. To connect the LAN to the WAN, you need a router which has the ability to do network layer IP routing with the routing table built in.

Oh as for the difference, a ethernet is like the rail-road that spread all over the places connecting different places and the router is the control station that basically make sure the train get to the place it desired without collision and with a most low congestion path(not guarantee lowest distance, so sometimes QoS sucks).
