Buy a PCI ethernet card (maybe this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127102 ). Plug it into an open PCI slot on your motherboard. Install drivers. Use ethernet port. The end.

The cable will plug into the back of your computer just the same as your speakers and monitor do.

but do you have usb2 ports as opposed to usb1 as that adapter will run slower if connected to a usb1 port than it would if connected to usb2?
