'computer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'partly get her network' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue is used).
'ETHERNET' is hidden within 'get her network'.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
