I connect to my office network without having a NIC in my home home computer through RAS.

No you do not need the NIC card in the machine. However, you might want to take it out, because Windows will try to logon to the LAN if the card is still in your machine.

No, you don't need a NIC you need a modem. Unless of course you have a cable modem that requires you to have a NIC.

I dialup to RAS using my modem. I do have a NIC card in my pc for my local network but I could certainly take the NIC out of the pc and still access work through RAS.

Good luck and hope this sheds some light.
