Ethernet wire to go into USB port - connector needed

[rapid]

I am about to connect up my broadband to my computer, which is a few years old. The PC does not have an ethernet port for the broadband wire to go into, but it does have a few spare USB ports.

Does anyone know where I can get a little connector that will allow me to plug the ethernet wire into the USB port? (I have tried PC World but they don't have it).

PS - I am based in Dublin.

You could try IT Direct on parliament st or maybe the like of dixons etc, however I thought most bband routers have usb ports on them aswell as ethernet

Just get a network card and install in the pc should be about 30 quid max

I used one of these a while back. It worked fine. They seem to be out of stock at the moment but I'm sure you'd pick one up elsewhere
