Ethernet cable

An Ethernet cable would be necessary for what, please? Ta Muchly.

to connect the pc to modem

More like to connect a computer to a network. If you mean for home broadband, then tamborine is partly right - it could also be used to connect the computer to a router and a router to the modem.

Many Thanks Guys...it will most likely be used as a connection between a laptop and a desktop pc...does that make sense?...and are Ethernet cables much of a muchness or are they specific?
