Slow down. The internet plug is called ethernet. You can get internet over a phone plug, but it has to be dial-up, which I assume you don't have, since you mentioned wireless. You could get a wireless access point and hook it up to your computer if you are for some reason against installing a PCI wireless card or even a simple USB wifi adapter.
