Ethernet question?

Question

ok well my mom knows what the ethernet is but she is not sure on some stuff. Well see i want to go online with my Wii but i can't because my mom is using the Ethernet for the insight internet. But can we use the port but still use the internet? I need help and i know this doesn't make sense eitheer but try to figure it out. Like can i hook up the thingy that lets the Wii go online to the Ethernet? Cause i know we need to be online to do this. Help please!

If I understand you correctly, you need a router to distribute the internet signal to both your mom's computer and your Wii.
