Help? Video Output

[Tom.Molyn]

first of letts recognize im not very fluent in linux.

I noticed this projector has a Ethernet port on it. i believe this to be an video input port for the projector.
i was wondering, since my netbook needs a proprietary cord and would cost me much to buy in order to hook up to the projector, is their a way or program that i can use on my system that would rout the video output to the eathernet port?

As far as I know, a port that is an "Ethernet" port isn't used for video.

The projector should have either Composite inputs or VGA/DVI/HDMI interfaces.

EDIT: That model of netbook has no "video out" port. It does have a port for a dock, but I don't know what all that dock would include.

In short: There is no way to transfer the video from the netbook to the projector.

altho the port on the projector may not be an imput i thought i should claify that the port is a notebook expansion port, meaning the port can be used for multiple things. including video to my understanding

PS. what would the ethernet port be used for then?

Ethernet is used for networking. In this case it could be for internet access, e.g. for software upgrades, or more likely, for streaming videos over the network. So it *could* be used for video, but only files...
