Answer 1

Telephone wires contain only 5 wires, where ethernet cables have 6 (maybe 8? I cant remember). At any rate, you can not use an adapter as the lines are two entirely different standards.

you can find ethernet cables just about everywhere these days. Best places would be Best Buy, Office Max, or other electronics stores. Your grocery store and pharmacy MIGHT have a small selection.

Choose the cable based on the length you need it to be.

Answer 2

Ethernet will come from a High Speed internet connection. You'll need a high speed modem.
