Networking and connecting your Raspberry Pi to the internet via an Ethernet port, using a CAT6 Ethernet cable

The simplest way to connect Raspberry Pi to the internet is by using the built-in LAN connection on the Model B. If you are using a Model A Raspberry Pi, a USB-to-LAN adapter can be used (refer to the There's more... section of the Networking and connecting your Raspberry Pi to the internet via a USB Wi-Fi dongle recipe for details of how to configure this).
