you configure by looking at your rear and you might find the light blinking on your NIC!

No. You must either get a USB adapter or use a Wireless connection.:)Another, more accurate answer.The standard Wii comes with a wireless NIC built in. You may need to configure the Wii and/or your wireless router to make it work.
Put the NIC in the PC, and install the NIC's drivers. Configure the NIC using Windows, so that it has the appropriate addresses on the network and the correct network protocols. Test the NIC to verify that the PC can access resources on the network.

A Network Interface Card, or NIC, is required for each computer on a Local Area Network, or LAN. Because older computers did not have the Universal Serial Bus, they had to have a NIC to be connected to a modem which was connected to the internet.
This would depend on the operating system, but in Windows XP, you go to Control Panel, Network Connections, double click on the NIC (Network Interface Card) in question. Click the Configure button, then click the Advanced tab. Be careful when changing speeds of the NIC. Most switches are set to Auto. Sometimes when you change the NIC properties you will not be able to communicate. Sometimes powering off the device will fix that, sometimes not. Also, you need to match duplex settings as well. 10mbs should be set to half duplex, 100mbs should be set to full duplex. The switch should be set as well. I have seen it that the switch was set to auto and changing the device would not work until the switch was set. Older printers were usual culprits.

USB bus allows a Network Interface Card (NIC) to be attached externally to a computer or other device. NICs can be connected via USB ports on a device, enabling network connectivity without the need for internal expansion slots.
