network card on motherboard of Mac

[wpshooter]

My sister is a Mac user (I am not) and she has a machine (which another Mac user gave to her) that she has been using for quite a while on dialup and is now wanting to put it on DSL & has ask me for my assistance in getting it hooked up to her DSL provider.

My question is do most Mac motherboards have a built in NIC ?

I have asked her but she does not know what to look for. And no, unfortunately, I do not yet have any specifics about the machine.

Thanks.

Generally, yes, Macs have a built in Ethernet port.

Here is a photo of an Ethernet port, which you can email her:

Also, if she could read you the model number off the Mac, or describe it: iMac? G4? PowerPC 6100 from fifteen years ago? With the model #, you can use this site to confirm standard configuration details:
