To be clear: the internet caf=E9 uses *wired* networking? If
that's the case, then aside from making sure that TCP/IP is
installed, and configured to acquire an address automatically,
a cable should be all you need.
I'm surprised, because most internet caf=E9's are wireless
these days, which implies you'll need a wireless adapter.
Good luck!
Thanks for asking,
Leo
