At a guess (or two):
Yellow broadband cable = Ethernet cable
ISP = Virgin Media
From OP's other threads I believe this 'new' machine is a second (or subsequent) user machine, therefore possibly quite old, therefore probably lacking an RJ45 socket / ethernet port.How do I add a signature?0 -
Are you actually looking at the modem?
A modem should have an Ethernet port like below unless its very old.

It must be a PC out of the ark if it does not have a network socket. Sounds like it only has a dial up modem port.
Plenty available at popular prices once the OP identifies the beast they have bought.
eg.
That gum you like is coming back in style.0
