Is a LAN cable the same as an ethernet cable ?

Hi Nr - there are basically 2 types of ethernet cable. One is like a coax (aerial) cable usually with metal bayonet connectors on the end (this is old school and not used much these days). The other is RJ45, which is like a thick telephone cable with a larger plastic connector on each end - this is the type that your laptop and hub will most likely need. Your local computer shop will be able to make sure you get the right one.
