    Maybe it's just me but I find your post confusing.  Phrases like "cable to dial-up" and "ethenet-dialup" don't make sense.  Exactly what is your current setup for Internet connection, or exactly what kind of Internet access are you planning?  Are you/will you be using a dialup service, DSL, or cable?  Are you/will be using a router, along with a modem?

      sorry for the language problem, well, i try to be more specific.
      i am currently using "unwire wireless" (internet compnay), is that DSL? and i think the cable the join the modem between my laptop and the modem is "ethernet plug", so  if i try to connect my "unwire wirelless modem" to my DESKTOP computer, is it possible, i think yes as long as i buy the hardware and install it into my desktop computer (with the ethernet plug), in additon, most desktop computer can connect with dial-up, and i called that cable is dial-up cable, is it? but my wireless modem is using ethernet plug, so is there a cable that can link my wireless modem and my desktop computer, if yes, what is that cable called
      much obliged.

      Are you perhaps refering to a network Interface card for Ethernet?

      a "dial-up cable" is merely a phone jack/cord. Nothing fancy.

      The ethernet cord is called a "Cat5-e" cable.

        i think BC-programmer is correct, there are 3 type of that network device: one is you said "interface network card", the other is a wireless modem, and a usb netword device. i am using the wireless modem
        my question is , is there a cable in one head is cat5-3 and the other head is "dial-up cable"?
        thanks
