Need instructions on how to replace Ethernet port

My ethernet port died after a recent power surge. Does anyone know a helpful website that can walk me through replacing it? It's a flat panel 800 MHZ from about 5 years ago.

Hello,
Just to clarify:
The Ethernet adapter is built-into the logic board (main board) in Macintosh computers.
It's not a separate card that can be replaced like it is on many PC's.
So, you cannot replace a faulty Ethernet port without replacing your computer's main board / logic board. That's going to be more expensive than just buying another computer.
So, your options are new computer or USB Ethernet adapter.
A USB Ethernet adapter is going to plug into one of your USB ports, and act as an Ethernet port.
You need to make sure you get one that is compatible with your version of the Mac OS.
Hope this helps.

Need instructions for replacing ethernet port

My Blue and White G3 had its ethernet port killed during a recent power surge. Does anyone know where I can find a website that will instruct me how to replace it.

Caution about third-party cards -- some of the companies that made them have gone out of business. Be sure that if the card is not genuine Apple, you get the driver with it.

Need instructions on how to download photos and videos from my Samsung cell to my iPhoto

Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto. Thx

Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.

How to add Ethernet ports to an Airport Extreme Base Station?

I have successfully connected an HP Office Jet 6310 to the Airport Extreme Base Station, after downloading the latest software from HP. It is printing wirelessly, and it is great so far.
The only problem is that the cable modem connected to ADSL has only one Ethernet port, and the Airport Extreme Base Station also has one Ethernet port. However, I need one more port to connect a phone (Vonage Telephone Adapter = VTA).
What is the easiest way to achieve this? I saw several other messages discussing hubs and routers, but the answer is not clear yet. If I purchase an additional router, should it be connected between the cable modem and the Airport Extreme Base Station, or the other way round?
Any help or advice would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time.

One final vital piece of information, which should be my conclusion on this topic.
Following the advice received, I purchased a Switch from Linksys. Since the device didn't work for my purpose (dividing the Ethernet connexion into an Ethernet line for the HP printer and the Vonage phone), I called the Linksys support.
I was told that what I needed was not a switch, but a router. I thus had to get reimbursed for the switch and hunt for the proper router.
Finally, today, I have been able to find the item corresponding to my needs:
A Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4
It costs less than 50 US$ and has all the necessary Ethernet ports. The setup is very simple, and I got it operational within a couple of minutes, despite some small problems getting the setup Wizard to work. It is Mac OS X compatible.
Thus, at the end, I have got the HP 6310 Office printer and the Vonage VTA phone working together, with a robust Wireless network including WPA security. I would recommend this type of setting.
The only trouble is that the AirMac Extreme Base Station has become completely useless! I will perhaps keep it as a souvenir, or as a decoration in the living room... This wouldn't have happened if the creators of this nice object, which is extremely expensive for what it provides, would have thought of including at least two Ethernet ports!
The unexpected reply to my query could thus be ironically formulated by saying: "replace the Airport Extreme Base Station with a cheaper an more efficient device." Sorry for that!
With my best regards to those who took the trouble to read this thread to the end.
Yours, Hotaru

How to disable Ethernet Port on 2003 Airport Extreme Base Station

I have a roommate who does not help with the cable bill. He is always plugging his computer into the ethernet port of the Airport base station (no wireless card in his computer). The Base Station sit on top of the cable box in the living where its plugged directly into the cable box for internet access. Unfortunately moving the cable box or base station is not an option. How do I disable the ethernet port or prevent him from having access to the base staion?

+How do I disable the ethernet port or prevent him from having access to the base staion?+
You could prevent him from connecting using wireless, but not ethernet.
On second thought, you could hide his ethernet cable. For a permanent solution, you could always fill the ports with glue, but would probably regret it at some point.

Before you do surgery on your imac, go to applications, system preferences, displays, and see if you can adjust the brightness. My screen was significantly darker after I upgraded to 10.4.3 and I was able bring it back to life. For some reason the upgrade caused the brightness button to regress to 0 on a scale of one to ten- hope this works for you

I have 220 photos on my camera to be downloaded to Lightroom. I want to organize them in 6 different folders. Can this be done? I need instructions to do this.

You cannot direct a single Copy Import operation from your card into multiple folders, but you can either import multiple times, selecting different photos each time from the Import grid, and specifying a different destination, or you can import everything into one folder, then use drag-and-drop in LR with different selections of photos into various folders you create within LR’s Library module folder panel. As long as you do the folder creating and photo moving within LR then LR will know where the photos have been moved to.
What I do is move the photos into multiple folders on the card, itself, outside of LR, using Explorer’s thumbnail previews to guide me, then drag-and-drop those folders to their final destination on my hard drive still outside of LR, then do an Add Import, by dragging and dropping those folders onto LR Library’s central area, so that’s another way.
