You will need an ArcNet<->EtherNet bridge.  ArcNet is electrically and
logically different from ethernet, so you cannot plug it into the en
port.  However, I have never heard of ArcNet running over twisted pair
lines, so your friend could be mistaken.  If he is mistaken, then it
is most likely 10baseT ethernet.  In that case, just plug in and go!

If it is really ArcNet, I am not entirely sure it will work with a
bridge (ArcNet is also a lot slower than ethernet).
